Naval forces?
I assume he means the Marines, since a Destroyer may have problems policing the LAND border between Israel and Egypt
Have we actually got any spare marines at the mo?

I'm sure before Brown commits, he has a chat with the Brass, who I expect tell him we can do it, but we'll be very stretched - which is sort of a standard expression by now. The BBC will visit HMS Something-or-other, where a very resolute-looking commander will tell them his entire crew are determined and up for this challenging new mission, followed by the youngest sailor on the ship, who will add something profound like 'We've got to do all we can to stop the trouble in the Middle-East'.

Jeez, some people!
It's HIS Navy, you join the forces to carry out Government policy, nothing else.
You'll go where he says you will go, get over it or leave.

Actually it is ours, or to be more correct The Queens, It is not his, heck he wasn't even elected to the post he holds............ Badly
No it's not and it never has been. The Queen has sod all to do with it. Nobody elected HER by the way.
At the end of the day, it's your job to go where he says and when he says, if you can't handle that you shouldn't have joined.

Excellent, and when sufficient numbers have taken Proone's option, someone, sometime may just realise the joke's over.

SVK,
As do I, however, the plain truth is that you may have sworn that but it is NOT what you actually do as a serving member of the armed forces.
