Nine British soldiers have been lost in nine days during fighting in Afghanistan fighting against terrorism and our safety today and in the future.

Regardless of any political argument, lets remember them with an old song which I think is fitting.

In my opinion Afghanistan is a real swamp..

and definitely a very bad and unsafe place for Christians :-/

history prooved that..

feel sorry for those soldiers :-/

[cem_devecioglu]

And time zone for this area is definitely showing 200 years ago (only weapons are new) ..but very poor and uneducated people..

so many bad things can happen.. :-/

The  government needs to do more to arm and protect our armed forces.

They are all currently fighting with one arm metaphorically tied behind their back, IMHO.

We all should feel moved when such dreadful events occur, the following by W H Auden speaks of the grief that only those so intimately involved can experience;

Couldnt agree more,its an absolute rather disgrace.Brown should be hung for the hypocrisy he shows regarding the armed forces.
I just hope its worth it in the end,the soviet union tried and failed in Afghanistan,as have quite a few others over the centuries.
