SAS on Afghanistan = Vietnam

BBC News: Reports on an Ex SAS Commander who resigned due to the bad equipment that our Armed Forces had to use in Afghanistan, the SAS Commander, Major Sebastian Morley equates our UK Military Operation to the Vietnam War. Our brave soldiers are a fighting a war with one hand tied behind their back, the lack of troops, the lack of equipment and rules of war that benefit the enemy. As to the last point, the enemy can fire or shoot missiles then hide back in the general population, even if our troops are 100% sure that they are the enemy, we need to catch them with the weapon in their hands and over a dead body, other wise the rules of UK action prevents us taking them out or taking them POW. The War in Afghanistan is not Vietnam, its worse, we have fought there before, we know the terrain and the people, in less we are going to fight to win we should get out fast, because we are going to lose more troops in the future.
