MOD: Reports that the UK Soldier killed on the 23rd of December in Afghanistan was " Captain Richard Holloway, of The Royal Engineers ". Our thoughts are with the family of Captain Holloway.
Lets Get Real:
How about a UK surge to support or withdrawing troops, the Taliban and Al - Qaeda are using the withdraw as a PR victory, to build up that idea they are using our troops as target practice, the UK should consider a limited surge to protect our troops and bases, also give support to the Afghanistan Government. The War in Afghanistan is NOT a victory, our brave and heroic troops have been let down by their military and political masters, they deserved better, but they have done the best job they could have under their past and present leaders, lets support our troops, and buy them a drink if they are out, they have done the job we would never do, this blog would run away from a War in Afghanistan and Vietnam.
