Title: Troops may stay longer in Afghanistan Post by Ahovking on Sep 24th, 2013 at 4:38pm Quote:
Don't like the idea of special forces troops remain behind in Afghanistan after the end of 2014 but on the other hand they will be left behind to help train their Afghan counterparts or to carry out counter-insurgency operations, which would hopefully help the nation stabilise and not fall back into the hands of the extremes. I guess its acceptable. Thoughts? |

I wonder who will be playing the role of the 44th Foot at Gandamuk, this time?
Others have had experience of what it is to try and be the last out of Afghanistan. If we're staying, are the Yanks and the Europeans as well or will our diggers be left in the lurch by a government led by a party has little understanding of how to conduct alliance warfare (ie, the complete failure of Howard to gain us a seat as a co-belligerent at the conference table of the Allied Coalition which decided strategy in Afghanstan). ::) |

It's an abomination. We've been there 10 years already. Enough is enough. The Afghans who have been receiving training over the past 10 years can now train other Afghans. No need for Australians to be there any more. It has long since become a profitable rort on the part of the Afghan government ~ milking the West for God Knows how many billions of dollars by now. Give them the weapons they need, and let them now train each other. And bring our boys home. After all, these are the fvckers who flood the West with their heroin. |
