    Trained or not, they are lambs to the slaughter, and we all know it.

    The West have just pass death sentences on thousands of innocent men, women and children in Afghanistan!

    politicians love to take the glory for what the troops do for our country when called upon If need, even now i would gladly take the call, but like all ex soldiers, it would have to be genuine, like the Falklands , not like Blairs weapons of mass destruction, the **** sent us in without the good equipment , while feathering his own nest, how many of our lads died due to IEDs because that **** wouldn't buy armour reinforced land rovers, even desert kit and the new weapons that kept jamming because of sand, as they were never field tested properly, **** protection against the parasites , the list goes on while his wife Cherie a human Rights lawyer benefited tremendously due to law changes which meant ,we the public got screwed over how the **** was never prosecuted is beyond belief.

    It’s common knowledge the USA struck a deal with the Taliban…

    We as in the West trained their soldiers, we supplied them the weapons, they rolled over without firing a shot.

    Again, the Afghan government should have the advantage in terms of both funding and weapons. It has received billions of dollars to pay for soldiers' salaries and equipment - mostly by the US. In its July 2021 report, SIGAR said more than $88bn (£64bn) had been spent on Afghanistan's security.”

    The 1500 that surrendered earlier in the week gave over their weapons to the Taliban, including Humvees, night sights, machine guns, mortars and artillery.

    So again, I ask what do you suggest? Leave our forces over there indefinitely costing the tax payer millions, risking our soldiers who have family back home protecting a nation that doesn’t want to help itself?

    You are talking now of mad dog countries Afghanistan Pakistan Iran and North Korea these countries will be fighting eternally, the first two were fighting with India long before we ever got there, and since we interfered and let them be autonomous its led to this,Iran or Persia has wanted to rule the world since the written word was invented, and South Korea has done a decent job of keeping the North in check
    There is nothing that will keep the barbaric teachings of indoctrination at bay, as now tactics have changed to victory by assimilation, but our politicians cant or wont see it

    What are you talking about Ell, the government along with the French have arranged for all the Afghans to be escorted across the English channel and be picked up by the Border Farce and put up in posh hotels.

    Yes, you should have sat him down in the naughty corner and reasoned with him, just as you would with an errant five year old.

    You're talking about people who probably have not received an education, let alone trained soldiers. Just because they have received some trained from Allied soldiers does not make them soldiers!

    All they know if that their allies have abandoned them like lambs to the slaughter!

    Have they? or is it American presence that has is doing that? If push came to shove I imagine the S/Koreans might act just as the Afghans and the South Vietnamese did. May-be, my-be not.

    Say what you like about Maggie, but she would never have struck a deal with a terrorism organisation
