In the great Ian Durys words……… what a waste………..      and we’ve funded it🤬
I'd have probably gone with 'hit me with your rhythm stick'

Although Walt Whitman might be more appropriate  :-\

Kipling wrote specifically about the second Afghan war. Roll to your rifle and Kim show that 140 years of 'progress' have changed nothing.


Or Harold Macmillan in 1963 - The first rule of politics should be to never invade Afghanistan.

We should never have gone in ...........

Why treat the symptoms when you can cure the problem by cutting the head off the cause.
Should have invaded Pakistan

That's the same problem as invading many of the middle eastern 'countries' that were created 200 years ago by drawing lines across tribal areas. Religious differences exacerbate the resulting mess.


Add the arrogance that our power requires us to force political dogma(which is of no practical difference to religious cults) on people to whom it has no relevance, and trouble is guaranteed.

Leave them to it, just fortify or own island. Give them time to kill each other and catch up with the ‘modern’ world, we have enough pain and suffering here let’s have a go sorting our own mess out for a change, There’s been millions wasted there, it could have done a lot of good here. A lot of our troops have died there too which is of course the worse thing, and now it looks as if it was for no gain for Afghanistan or the Uk.
