Captalist Wars



RAF utterly useless, major claims

Emails written by a British Army major serving in Afghanistan condemn the RAF as "utterly, utterly useless".

They also indicate that more helicopters and manpower are "desperately" needed for the operation to be successful.

The three emails, obtained by Sky News, were penned by an unnamed officer based with 3 Para in the troubled southern province of Helmand.

The major refers to the death of his colleague Corporal Bryan Budd in the Sangin area last month, and describes the soldiers' efforts to save him during an intense fire-fight. They also outline concerns for two junior colleagues who "look very frightened and slow to react".

"There is a fine line between giving them time to accept what has happened and adjust, and gripping them hard and forcing them to focus," the officer adds.

Just as Iraq has become a major focus political issue in America, Afghanistan has become ours.

Captalist wars are keeping us divided from each other and in constant servitude. While the current status quo remains in power nothing will improve or change.
