The British Government never ceases to amaze me when it comes to defense. Just before Iraq they were saying that everything was fine, and then come a few months later... Troops don't have desert DPM's or enough equipment. When my dad was out there he had to borrow someone else's flak jacket and rifle! He personally had a pistol with 6 rounds of ammunition! Not even a full mag! Yet the Government said that they were "unaware of problems" *sigh* complete bunch of fools.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me why GR variant Harriers are stationed on RN "carriers" now, since when were ground attack aircraft effective fighters, they can't even carry slammers for pity sake!
Makes you wish Guy Forkes had managed to blow up Parliament, would have gotten rid of the useless idiots before they started to interfere and screw everything up!
