British Pullout Of Afghanistan
The slow retreat from Afghanistan continues...
// The British Army has made another significant move towards its final withdrawal from Afghanistan and has now pulled back to controlling just two bases.
Only 4,000 troops currently remain in the country. //
If we could turn back the clock 13 years and had to decide whether to invade or not, would we make the same decision (to go in)?

/// And redman spelt the word Bomb, not bomb, and that is the normal way to indicate a nuclear device. ///
No he put a Bomb, the normal way to indicate a nuclear bomb is 'The Bomb'
incidentally a nuclear 'device' doesn't necessarily mean a nuclear weapon.
Sorry to be so pedantic, but you started it. :0)

I think we have kept them at bay for a few years but I fear the Taliban will again grow in strength after the troops have gone. Look at Iraq; degenerated into Islamic in-fighting between Shi'ite and Sunni factions. They've been at it for 500 years!
Also how many of the 448 deaths were at the hands of the Afghan security force, the very people we were meant to be training up to keep the Taliban at bay? Its clear alot of them werent singing from the same hymn sheet!
I hope we learn not to blindly march into pointless battles that have no end point.

I am unsure how it will pan out in the future, and I fear that this basically backward and uneducated country will still have troubles to come. But isn't life better for the Afghani people now, than before the UN and NATO moved in ? It might not be perfect today but is it really the same as it was when the Taliban were in power ?
