U.K. Commits €1 Million To Assist Military Personnel Stranded in Cyprus

Cash being a tad hard for them to come by

Britain has sent €1 million in cash to Cyprus to bail out Armed Forces personnel affected by the country's banking crisis.

 A regular RAF flight from Britain to Cyprus took off this afternoon carrying the cash.

Officials said the money, worth £860,000, will be available for emergency loans for Service personnel who find themselves unable to access cash in Cyprus.

I'm surprised they didn't ask the US military to transport it.

See, if it was still easy to use joke handles, I would comment as "Ben Bernanke" and say "God, I am so hard right now." But it isn't, so I won't.
