Britain lost its 300th soldier in the utterly pointless Afghan conflict yesterday.
eight-and-a-half-years, 300 lives lost, 300 families destroyed, billions of pounds spent and for what exactly?
Now there’s talk about 30,000 more troops and even our Prime Minister admitting more lives will be lost.
Can anyone explain to me why we are still there? Anyone? What exactly are they trying to do?
The Macho posturing after 9/11 has dragged on and on and the so-called crusade to eliminate al-Qaida has utterly failed and led to a Vietnam-style drawn out pointless waste of time, resources, and most importantly lives.
The worst thing is can anyone see the end of it? There’s talk of a slow withdrawal, but they’ve been there for more than eight years, how long is it going to take to leave?
You can’t just pack up and go home.
It’s all very depressing and must be a million times worse for the poor old soldiers who give their all for the country and live in terror of rocket propelled grenades.
