I did read about the lack of equipment for U.K. troops and it sucks. We went through the same thing with the U.S. troops. Families and private citizens were sending over body armor and the troops were welding any metal they could find to their vehicles.
After a lot of complaining and dead soilders we finally got them what they needed. MRAPs, upgraded body armor, better weapons and the like.
Hopefully the citizens of the U. K. will shout loud enough to convince their government that there should be no hesitation when arming and protecting their soilders. A higher death toll shouldn't force them to take action like it did with us.
