Ha. We really are the military equivalent of the ditzy blonde in the horror movie who offers to go out to the shed for the axe dressed only in a cropped t-shirt and hotpants while wolves howl outside.

I also listened to the interview and marvelled at the world of Reid-logic.

If the US and Australia learnt that small arms was dangerous to low-flying aircraft in Vietnam, how come this wasn’t also noticed by the UK, their closest allies. Sadly the interviewer didn’t seize on this particularly pathetic aspect of Reid’s defence.

The Hercules was brought down when at least 6 shoulder fired anti tank missiles were fired at it, hardly small arms.

It’s presence which was to do with some dodgy biz had been leaked and they were ambushed.

Interestingly Reid was impossible to pin down
1. When the re fit to tanks commenced
2. When it will be finished

but revealingly he had, “on receiving the report said it should be done” … “although uou and I Krishna of course don’t understand these things”…. very very very clever men in the RAF etc.,

One has to say for a guy on double cold turkey on booze and fags (with a son married to the daughter of Glasgaes finest and most notorious drug dealer)he has been transmogrified. Old Rotweiller John has disapperaed .. I wonder what he is on ? Ritalin ?

The amusing thing is that Hoon went to Afghanistan in one of the foamless and, for that matter, DAS-less Herks. They only told him after they got there…
