Geoff;
Another little 'tid-bit' of embarassment perhaps, in relation to the state of our armed forces, heard earlier this evening that the U.S. 173rd Airborne Brigade has made a 'THOUSAND' man drop into northern Iraq.. I think we'd be lucky to muster maybe '500' active troopers overall, after combing through the whole of the land element of the armed forces.
Yes, a pretty sorry state of affairs indeed.
