I'll ask my brother next time i get to speak to him if he's enjoying his training shall I  >:(

There are hundreds of training sites and you dont generally have dead soliders coming home from them!!!

 Why are we there? I think a much harder question is how are we going to get out?

There was a war going on there before 9/11 and one of the reasons then was that they were the world's largest supplier of illegal opium.

Historically the big powers have always tried to invade and control areas where there is mineral wealth to be had. Nothing changes. There must be either oil and gas there or some other substance because we certainly do not need opium.

Wars have also always been the cause of the fall of Empires too, and we all know which countries are bankrupt and pretending not to be. As I say. Nothing changes.

Many people believe that the CIA control this and they are using it to help finance their illegal warmongering.

I for one don't care as to why we are there, all i known is we should get our own House in order before we stick our nose in other peoples and get  law and order back on the streets in the UK.

Why are we in Afghanistan?
We are in Afghanistan because it became a source of terrorism.

The Taliban gave safe haven to Al Qaeda, which allowed terrorists to plan and carry out terrorist attacks around the world, including the atrocities of September 11. That is why the UN authorised a NATO-led military intervention.

But getting rid of the Taliban regime and Al Qaeda was only the first part of the job. The second is to make sure they cannot return. Right now, this means direct military support, protecting the Afghan people and defeating the insurgency.


In the longer term, it means an Afghan Government, including the Army and Police, capable to take on the insurgency and violent extremism themselves. When they are, our soldiers can come home.

At the same time as our troops provide security to Afghan people, we are building up and developing the Afghan Army and Police so they can provide their own security. We are supporting the Afghan Government's efforts to reach out to those who are willing to accept the democratic process and abandon violence and terrorism.

The Army is working relentlessly with the United Nations mandate to help the Afghan Government improve governance, both nationally and locally, to:

•tackle corruption and the drugs trade;
•build up the rule of law;
•promote economic development - investing in infrastructure, agricultural alternatives to growing poppy, jobs;
•improve access to education and healthcare.
UK forces remain committed to these tasks. We are not imposing a Western model, but are working alongside the international community to support the

It's a shame the powers at be don't do the same as the above in the UK.

According to the latter, they found thermite residue (demolition charges) in the dust from the twin towers.

And both the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were approved because of this event.

PLEASE take a look at these, they could change your entire view of the world.
