How dare you, the troops, on all sides are tired. But the British Army is streched to the limits, and they do a damned hard job out there. Just because the RAF isn't in the same numbers as USAF units doesn't mean that the brits are "slacking". My dads been out to Iraq three times now and worked his arse off every time. So don't even think about saying that the british forces are slacking. I'm sorry if I sound really up front and rude but I just don't like it when people start accusing the british armed forces of "slacking" etc. Especially with the poor standard of equipment they are using (apart from things like the EF2K and new type 45 of course).
