    Can't answer that but if politicians were sent to fight in the front line would they be so keen to start these wars

    Always gonna be a question to split opinion..

    My opinion it's enough when the job is done. There is no point pulling out our highly trained troops and leaving behind a poorly organised army to maintain a country as torn apart as Afghanistan. I lost a good friend of mine over there a few years back and I would hate to think that we left too soon and with an unfinished business. The losses we've had can't be in vain.

    Like I said just my opinion.

    We have now been in Afghanistan longer than the two world wars and how can afghan tribesman harm England. I overheard this comment from a Vet Royal Marine at a Remembrance service.

    We can,t pull out until we've seen the job through & that may well take some time.

    When you know that Pakistan isn't going to de-stabalise a fledgeling government.

    No wait let's go back to Afghanistan being the worlds largest exporter of Terrorism and Heroin, a country where James Bond Super Villans did really exist.

    If the ****tards who run the show legalised Herion then the farmers get 'more clean money', instead their only recourse is to get a pittance off crime syndicates that actively de-stabalise the country.

    When indeed.....but

    This is the correct answer....

    UK has stuck it;s little nose into one to many conflicts, whilst allowing the goverment to systemrmatically disarm the forces.

    The UK is now paying the pennance for it's former glory, in relation to what is considers to lands that it claimed to it found....haha where they lost?


    Founders of the world....ffs.

    And I understand that answer, but, will we ever see it through, I don't see how we can.

    Why the **** are we helping the Yanks anyway? The 7/7 bombings came because we got involved. We've achieved nothing from going to Afghan apart from grouping ourselves with the Fat Americans and making ourselves targets for Terrorism.

    Ask ANY soldier who's there. None of them want to pull out.

    Just an ex's view.

    I lay for nearly an hour in about -5 with me leg completely smashed shouting for people (15-20) to call me an ambulance. NO ****ER did, in fact the majority turned heel and walked back the way they had come.

    You Tash are a spineless **** that would just walk away as it's not your problem.

    Moan like **** though when it DID finally come home to roost......................

    Help someone that deserves the help, The United States of America is an overrated piece of ****, and the only thing we'll achieve by allying ourselves with them is making more enemies!

    Well the new world order isn't quite here but it needs to come, a bitter sweet pill for us privileged westerners. Sadly it will be a corporate affair with parity not being high on the agenda.

    That is me dour take on the future....

    Or religious zealots Christian vs Muslim (that's the real **** one)

    Just round the corner Billy, in a Dene walking the dogs, slipped on ice etc. I was asking people I walked the dogs previously with by name, humans need leaders the majority are feckless swarf.

    Quite possibly marra.

    One of my very best friends is Jewish & she makes me a cracking bacon sandwich.

    :D I'm a ****in communist at heart but given the plutocracy that we live in(with limited freedon(basically dependant on how wealthy you are)) or some 'cause' driven regime (relegion/ideology). I'll be poor every time :)

    The world is just plain wrong (but it needs protecting from the infestation of humans)
