It is quite depressing really finding out we appear to have the same problem in both countries. I want someone in the MOD who is fighting to get my son and brother the correct equipment to do their job not one who is sucking up to the politicians.Things might change if Tony and Cherie Blair had to send their kids off to war. I might moan about the Royal family but at least Prince Andrew fought in the Falklands War and his Uncle the Duke of Kent did operational tours of Ireland when he was in the army.Tony Blair's son Euan did get pissed and fall over drunk in Leciester Square then abused a policeman so I don't think that counts.
Ah well "C'est la guerre"
