Thursday's Daily Mail editorial titled "Betrayal of our fighting troops" quotes the revelation from the National Audit Office that:

"troops were indeed sent into battle without proper protection from chemical or biological attack"

I can't help thinking that the complaint would carry more authority if anyone could produce evidence that the chemical or biological weapons they required protection from actually existed.
