Afghanistan Never Ending War!

As readers who have been kind enough to read this blog will know VIEWS has been very concerned about the War in Afghanistan. It seems a War without End, over the last two hundred years we have lost thousands of our good troops there, and we are still in the bloody place. Views has not lost his mind, of course we have not be there all that time but deaths are deaths no matter the time frame. Today it is reported by the BBC we have lost another Soldier, so far we have lost 70 UK Service Personnel in the place since the war started in 2001. A few months ago VIEWS caught a ITV story from Afghanistan, our troops are in 1914 - 1918 conditions, e.g trenches in some cases and not enough back up. The answer of the government send more troops from Iraq to Afghanistan, it could be argued the other way around, get out of Afghanistan and send troops to Iraq. One simple question can we win in Afghanistan if not why lose troops, we might win in Iraq if we stay, running out now would be a disaster. Also lets start to get more European troops in, they have been very quiet, whats the point of NATO if they will not support its founders.
