    Default Diplomatic missions...

    Landing a helicopter full of heavily armed special forces, unannounced, at the dead of night in a war-torn foreign country.

    Which genius planned that one ?

    It really is like being in the early 80s again.

    The realism is aided by the fact that I'm wearing a Fred Perry T-shirt.

    It's easy to plan or sanction missions like this when it's not your arse that is being hung out to dry.

    Wonder how much more care they would have taken if someone had said "you happy with this plan then? Yes! well get on the helicopter cos you're coming too."

    Yes this was a cock up but how many in the past that we never heard about have been successful?
