Re:

I tend to agree with you Patrick .Historically we've  always been ready to fight
to the last Brit or American, After all that's what they're there for  isn't it?
However judging by what is starting to come from the various and sundry  speeches
made lately .It seems the the Yanks have caught on and aren't very happy with us
 I'm referring to a speech made by an American Under Secretary in Calgary(?) a
week or two ago. Then there were the comments made by the new NATO Secretary
General.. We will continue to ignore them of course.
 As for Leo C2 it's still a worn out twenty + year old tank! And the I tank died
a slow and painful death from 40-43. The usual criticism of the military is that
it is planning to fight the last  war .I wish that were the case here.
However I 'm sure we'll will teach those Boers a thing or two, next time out!
