Boer War and Afghanistan



BBC History: An Essay on British Strategy in the Boer War of 1899 - 1902. As stated in previous post this blog support winning the War in Afghanistan, if we have to be brutal but effective so be it, if that means a scorched earth policy combined with the Hamlet policy of the Vietnam War then let it be, in Vietnam the people from the Villages had their communities moved to secure Hamlets. Thus if the Taliban didn't have local support support and the Army of Pakistan could really move up to the boarder then they could be crushed. The more years we spend in Afghanistan the more we shall be seen as invaders, more UK deaths, lets finish this operation, I would rather get harsh words from the Guardian and the New York Times that lose one more member of the Armed Forces. Its is harsh and God forgive me but it might be the only result that will work in the War.
