I make no rambling point
Nowadays..the British establishment didn't or don't really care about young guys being killed in war, that much. Unless the press kick it up (which they do). Or am I wrong? Maybe they do care.?
When you think, in the past, we have sort of got it together a bit to counter a threat. I'm thinking say WW2 44-45 we did eventually develop a counter to Panther or Tiger when we eventually developed Archer, Firefly and Comet.
Or in NI we developed Wheelbarrow to counter bombers targeting our experts.
Why the slow reaction to deal with the failure of "snatch land-rover"? Why?
I spoke a lot about this with ordinary people and they were particularly hard faced. "You choose to join the military but are surprised to be killed or maimed? What did you expect". Is that the final answer?
