Ex-defence chiefs round on Brown
Their Lordships Guthrie, Boyce & Inge have all attacked this government & Brown on the appalling treatment of the services. The Army should be 20-30 thousand people larger at least, there should be 5-6 more squadrons of support helicopters, and probably at least another regiment of attack helicopters. If not, then the strain on troops with the frequency they have to go on tour plus our inability to increase our numbers to a point where they will make a difference will ultimately lead to defeat in Afghanistan (just my opinion by the way)
BUT
Does anyone know what the conservatives will do, because frankly as we all know this government is finished. St Crispin knows, the answer, and it’s not a good one!!

All I wanted to remark was that I’ve been asking tories for months what Dave would do and haven’t had one reply as yet.
Carry on in the same fashion with a bit more cash diverted from other Armed Forces.
The electoral coup d’etat by Hamid Karzai has led me to change my view and I now think we should leave that corrupt shithole asap but, we will have to take responsibility for the 10s of thousands of Afghanis who believed us when we promised to be in for the long haul and who then assisted us as politicians, electoral officials, translators, drivers, policemen, teachers, trainers & etc. as all will be subject to revenge attacks upon the return of the Taliban.
Yeh.The CONservatives will do the equivalent of sweet fuck ALL.They are no better than Labour.Its a pity we don’t have a modern-day Guy Faulkes who’d blow the fucking lot of them to kingdom come.
