Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that a UK Soldier was killed in combat today in Afghanistan, the Soldier was from the " 14th Signal Regiment (Electronic Warfare) ".  Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 445 of its Armed Forces Personnel due to combat and other incidents.    

Lets Get Real: 

Folks WHY are we still losing brave members of our Armed Forces in a War we are getting OUT off, what is the point, by the end of the next year we should be out of Afghanistan AGAIN, we should cut our loses  and leave Afghanistan to the US and its future plans.    Our forces will do the job they have been sent out to do, but it can be argued that the Coalition Government should have a duty of CARE, we are walking off the pitch next year, it can be postulated that Afghanistan within six months will back in to a state of Civil War, the Afghanistan Taliban will use the leaving of Western troops as a PR for their course, when Kabul falls to the Taliban, is the US ready for another Southern Vietnam 1975,  who wants to see US helicopters getting the last US diplomats and allies out of Afghanistan.   At the end of the day folks, Afghanistan and Iraq was a disaster for the West, what have we gained, NOTHING, and the result, Western Armed forces are tired and Western voters wish they had never heard of Iraq or Afghanistan, our military and political leadership from the Generals to the Political elite have shown that they were donkeys leading lions.
