SCOTTISH AIRCREWS AT RISK IN NEW NIMROD SAFETY SCARE

19.02.08, 3:37am

So what does the public want.?Survielance or an aircraft that can be targetted because they are sending an identifying signal out.
The Forces in UK are damned if they do carry out safety requirements and then damned if they run into trouble during a war situation.
Would you want to tell the enemy where you were if you were at war?
The best thing the Forces can do is say damn you to the British public and withdraw from the war zones and refuse to send any serviceman into danger. Then why would we need a Navy, Army, or Airforce.?.... More money saved to allow the country to be taken over by foriegn nationals. The government are already allowing that to happen.
Send those politicians to the war front where they can really lead the nation.

Angry ex serviceman.

PS And it is not only Scottish Servicemen. British would be more appropriate..
