Get More Equipment to our Troops

Hello all, you might have heard all over the news that Gordon Brown thinks that we have enough equipment for our troops over in Afgan (personally i think we dont). I know you cant fly everywhere and footpatrols have to be done. If the troops need to get from point A to point B and they could use choppers for faster and saver means then surely that would make more sense? With all the taxes we are paying over here in the UK i think they should have the proper equipment or have more of it. If we can get this petition heard then maybe we might get somewhere with that pencil jockey at No. 10
