Tornado / typhoon.....does it really matter? The fact is, there are THREE of them.

The worrying thing in all of this is that some people out there (some of you lot reading it) genuinely end up believing the report and go away with that warm fuzzy feeling of how powerful (militarily) the UK is.

Smell the coffee guys - it is a blip on the military power scale. We are a coastal defence force at best. With the odd jet buggering off to the middle east to make us look important politically.

[And please - before you start - my posts have nothing whatsoever to do with the quality of our mil. That is and always has been sacrosanct.]
