I'm thinking that things haven't changed much since the complaints about the equipment supplied to Wellington's army during the 1803-1814 war with France.Corruption was rife among the support staff and soldiers were frequently without food let alone their pay for weeks at a time.

So all in all things are better now than it is often suggested..However better is not good enough if we want less deaths,an improvement to morale and to be able to actually achieve our objectives in Afghanistan.Why the hell isn't GB kicking ass among his Cabinet? If we weren't ready for a war why the hell did we agree to go?

I hate to say this but Mrs T would not have left our troops hanging in the wind like this lot are...
