The BBC is definitely turning into The Sun when you get a headline like that, just to find out that the article is mostly about helicopters :roll:

Quote:
The Ministry of Defence says additional Merlins are being deployed and more Chinooks will be sent during the coming year.


And how many people will be unnecessarily dead by the time that happens I wonder...

"It is not an issue of ministers being unwilling to commit the resources. That is why we've significantly expanded the helicopter fleet - both in terms of numbers and flying hours and why more are coming,"

[LIFTED] like this is exactly why I didn't join the RAF two years ago. I have friends in theatre and they're always rather vocal about equipment levels.

As far as I'm concerned the entire MoD can die of gonorrhoea and [LIFTED] OFF!

Problem is the people in charge have had little or no military experience let alone combat experience.

Just pen pushers and number crunchers.
