Aha - this is more like HMG's real attitude:

So basically between Darling, Brown and Ainsworth the message is that our troops are fully supported by the government and will get whatever help/resources they need....... unless, of course, those resources are helicopters (and very probably anything else which costs more than a few quid like decent armoured vehicles..)...

We all know there are bound to be fatalities but what we do expect is that our troops have all the equipment they need to deal with the foreseeable risks and that any deaths aren't the result of MOD/governmental ineptitude and negligence. Sadly that isn't the case is it!
