Afghan disgrace

Afghan disgrace

What’s going on is a bloody disgrace. I hate it, hate it when all we hear from Browne and co. is “we are giving our forces what they need” “Our forces are not overstretched”
This govt says it wants to stand up for freedom and democracy, it says it is dedicated to our armed forces but when it comes down to it, they put saving money before saving lives (lack of fire suppressant foam for hercs for example). They fight wars on the cheap and have cut our forces to bone.

As a previous Thread has stated, the govt is only going to deploy an extra ONE harrier to support our forces. What about deploying Jaguar GR3’s? Oh, sorry, I forgot, they are too busy being ‘drawn down’ and sent to the scrap heap, another fine example of govt ignorance.

I feel so sad for those men and women who put THEIR lives on the line for this country and they get treated like dirt by our govt. 😡

I agree with the afghan mission, but there is no point continuing with an undermanned, under-resourced force and attempting to fight the war on the cheap.

You can’t treat a war (after all that’s what it is) like some kind of game. You either put your full military weight behind it (for the sake of our own forces and the Afghan civilians) or not bother at all. The question is, which is it going to be? 😡
