Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”

5 killed in a i.e.d. explosion

at the end of the day, there is 2 things about this situation that really p*sses me off.

1/.  N.A.T.O.      the lads out there are all under the command of nato.   how many countrys are in nato ?
and why are there troops not  in the fields getting there hands dirty with our lads ?     i know for a fact that the germans have helicopters out there but are not allowed to fly into a combat zone and have been stoped flying at night because it dangerous !!

2/.   under funding.       why does this country seem to think that we have to do nato's dirty work with sub standard equipment while the rest of europe sits back and laughs at us while greatfully taking god knows how many million pounds everyday ?

The Ministry of Defence says five more British soldiers have died in Afghanistan, taking the total number of deaths announced on Friday to eight.

The five, from the 2nd Battalion The Rifles, were killed near Sangin, Helmand province, on Friday morning. Next of kin have been informed.

Their deaths takes the number killed in Afghanistan since 2001 to 184 - more than those killed in the Iraq war.

UK forces are engaged in an offensive in Helmand with US and Afghan troops.

The five soldiers were killed in two separate blasts while on the same patrol.

Lieutenant Colonel Nick Richardson, spokesman for Task Force Helmand, said: "While there are no words to ease their loss, our heartfelt sympathies go to their families, friends and fellow soldiers at this very difficult time: their deaths were not in vain."

Earlier on Friday, it was confirmed a British soldier from the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment died near Nad Ali in Helmand. That news came hours after the deaths of another two soldiers, again in Helmand.

Fifteen soldiers have died in 10 days in southern Afghanistan.

RIP

It's a pity that Dr Reid didn't listen........



http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/betrayed-how-we-have-failed-our-troops-in-afghanistan-418334.html
The same Dr. Reid who said that the Afghan situation could be resolved without a shot being fired?
what a rather idiot. >:(

....because we're governed by a bunch of self-serving, party political, money grabbing, gutless, indolent and generally useless gits who, by dint of sharp practice, have ever had the misfortune to plant their arses with such indecent firmness on the seat of government.

are a man who thinks like me  :y

could not agree more with you there mate.
my cousin is out there at the moment working with the royal marines and tells me that there is so much discontent in the ranks about this its unbeliveable  >:(

the officers all toe the party line in public but in private, they feel just the same way.

but at the end of the day, when you take the queens shilling, you do as you are told  >:(
