It was 32 Sqn who flew into Yugoslavia at the height of the conflict there and the Sqn were present during both Gulf Wars.
Do you think Ryanair or Easyjet would have volunteered for those tasks?
Mike Rosewhich and sitigeltfel,
A military coup? The military sort out this countries problems?
Get a grip. The military can't even run themselves, let alone the country.
Military Governments, hhmm don't they have a wonderful track record....
BTW,
The coup would be TREASON.

But a brace of morally dubious 'conflicts', coupled with an imposed Prime Minister who has bankrupted the country and lies to the population every time he opens his mouth is ok eh?
If it was justified to intervene militarily in Iraq to save the country from a corrupt and evil dictator slowly bleeding his country to death, I fail to see how that reasoning cannot be applied to the current situation the UK finds itself in now.
At least Saddam was 'elected'. Yes Saddam's election was rigged and he won by fear and cheating, but at least he went through the charade of an election unlike our own dear beloved leader. Still want to talk about treason?

DEFRA
It was a 5 Star Hotel in Riyadh as well - when the scuds were incoming during Desert Storm.
Now my first war was really tough - the Hotel was only 2 star but it did have a swimming pool and it was right next to the Jabberwock Beach Club beside the Caribbean Sea. As it was an FCO sponsored Operation we had to suffer the idignity of being on FCO allowances - which were double the Military ones.

Melchett01,
Saddam Hussein more legitimate than the UK Government?
If that's your argument then you are not worth a breath of a reply.

Good, then I won't find my blood pressure going off the chart reading your usual shower of Noo Labour spin.
Then again, I don't think I've seen you retreat quite so quickly - may be the truth about this corrupt shower is starting to prick even your conscience.
For once, Noo Labour and its apologists can no longer hide behind 'technicalities' to get them out of the brown and smelly. People now see them for what they really are; their days are numbered. Slowly but surely, common sense and decency will return and we can start to undo the damage Brown et al have caused this country.

Arguably, it is Brown the humourless and his Neu Labia followers that are the true practitioners of treason. The removal, by whatever means, of an out of control Prime Minister is hardly treason. It is simply one element of Her Majesty's triangle of power being reined in by one of her other elements.
Regretably, democracy is so fragile and peevish that the rest of the World would ensure that it would fail and the "enemy within" would then ensure that Her Majesty would cease to exist (not physically, of course). Either way, we must watch our Nation being slowly buggered.
Alas, my dear Melchett01, the waiters have taken over the hotel and only care about the size of the tips.

Melchett01,
noo labour spin?
All I ever did was contradict the ignorant when they were claiming defence budget cuts when the budget was actually increasing.
You will find no defence of Brown coming from me, this Govt has displayed an unerring capability for total ineptitude and incompetence and their time has been and gone.
David TONY BLAIR Cameron and his bunch of Eton educated nerds will do precious little for you chaps in defence however. Public spending is going to take a hammering under the next Govt, which I have no doubt will be Tory.
Common sense and decency from a charlatan like Cameron? Please!

So who will the be the forces sweethearts? Even the Lib dems have realised their pipe dream plans can no longer be afforded.
Cuts in spending actually may be a good thing as it will get rid of some of the useless mouths and dead wood that govt departments are supporting. As long as the cuts are managed better than Nu-Labors splurge in spending was on things like Health & Education.
