BBC News: Reports on a speech by the new UK Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth, Mr Ainsworth has rejected the comparison of Afghanistan to the Vietnam War. Mr Ainsworth thus needs the sack, lets be honest, we don't have the troops, our troops are the best in the business, but they need more support and the kit sent to our troops is based on a economic agenda. The UK Treasury hates to spend money on vehicles that cant be destroyed by an IED. Our brave troops in some actions are back in the Trenches, this is the 21 Century and we are fighting in the Trenches as in World War One. The Taliban have stated that they wont stand and fight, they would lose such a direct fight, they are going to use insurgent methods. The War in Afghanistan broke the USSR, lets hope it does not do the same to the UK.
