@robert_lyman Thank you Rob I’m glad you are enjoying Tank Command and a similar reaction from many veterans - you are right about Ukraine changing the way we fight with autonomous being the operative word!
I’m really enjoying this Hamish: it’s a deeply personal love letter to the tank, as part of a wider combat system. Comments on SDR and Ukr might quickly date it, but for readers today it perfectly contextualises the role of armour in warfare today, and why we need many more of them!
'The two most principled and honourbale members of the cabinet have now gone.'
Former Army Officer Hamish De Bretton-Gordon calls on Army Generals to stand down in protest against the Labour government's approach to Britain's defence.
"Si vis pacem, para bellum"
(If you want peace, prepare for war)
“Because in the world we now inhabit, weakness invites aggression, while strength preserves peace.”
Excellent piece in @Telegraph by @HamishDBG 👇
