Post Andrew 
Smudger - I've copied and enlarged the photo in question, and I don't think it is the PJM - he's got everything else mind you, but not the PJM.

I wondered if anyone would ask that question, I thought that myself when I saw it, but then decided - Too much red, no yellow. I have been looking to see what else it might be, but as yet have not found anything.

Post Sir Jock Stirrup 
There is an interesting article in today's Daily Telegraph online today -

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6983153.ece.

There are also many comments added, and this one rather made my blood boil:

"Much of the Army, however, has a vested interest precisely in fighting never-ending counterinsurgencies. Its what the infantry have been doing since the 1940s and what they did in the imperial period before that. Given we have lost every counterinsurgency campaign since 1948 and the dire results of past concentration on imperial policing at the expense of warfighting capability, you would think politicians would have more sense than to go down this detour again."

I have added my comment to this nonesense - anyone else care to join in??

Tony

Post Chief of Staff 
Sir Jockstrap, has obviously been very carefully briefed, by some highly educated civil servants, with little regard to that little contretemps in the far east, that lasted until 1966.

Now, Sir Jockstrap, let me ask the question again. Who won that one?

No Jockstap, it wasn't Arsenal or Chelsea, but by a group of dedicated servicemen/women, police and others, too numerous to mention, who worked in total co-operation and with due regard to the correct use of equipment.

It begs the question as to whether he had been ill advised in his briefing, or demonstrated a total ignorance of military history. A sine qua non for a civil servant, but a walking disaster for a military person.

Yours Aye

Arthur R-S
