    Howard - that is not true, what you say about Andy McNab. You may be referring to his comment on his tv programme about the upgraded assault rifle. Some of the equipment is better than ever, true - that surely is a logical development of Defence procurement and development but ask any soldier and there remains many shortcomings and they are still having to scrounge kit off the yanks....

    The Navy has lost far too many escorts, the Air Force need more transport aircraft and reccy aircraft, the Army are desparate for more choppers.... to mention a few items..

    Oh, not to mention the RN frigates going into war zones lacking their main missile armanent... due to costs.

    What about the scrapping of the Sea Harriers, reducing the air defence capability of our carriers.

    We are getting half the number of Type 45 destroyers than are needed, we have too few AS frigates, the order for the Astute class has been reduced and the Army do not have enough boots to put on nthe ground or in reserve...
