Turbine too hot,

Whilst on Op Ellamy, the RAF may not be supporting the British Army, they are supporting Land Forces as are the Royal Navy and the Army Air Corps.

Widger, some support maybe, but I'm fairly certain that the missions are in defence of the civilian population rather than in direct support of rebel troops, the result being largely similar being a welcome by-product.

Please dont forget strategic targeting and enforcing the NFZ by the RAF and RN. Bugger all to do with land unless you are looking so joint that you advocate a UKDF rather than three services. In which case everything military that ever happens is ultimately land support. Boots on the grounds blah.

Twist it how you want but be careful about pushing to hard for the end of one service in a resource/money/power grab, the Law of Unintended Consequences has a funny habit of raising it's strange head during such actions.
