If only we had politicians who were prepared to defend our troops in such a way.

I cannot remember our Government suspending its training programmes for Afghan troops, or even sending out our Foreign Minister to Afghanistan, when some of our troops were killed by a renegade Afghan policeman.

French get shot at, surrender! How unusual!

No.

[Baldric]

I don't really like cheese, I like surrendering even less, and I'm not that fond of monkies!!

[Baldric]

I should add aog that in terms of our politicians standing up for our troops I agree with you.

I think we have more enemies than allies in Afghanistan - we are in a no win situation.

So Sarcastic strikes again - I wonder if there is a Presidential Election around the corner by chance...Surely Not!

When they can give more compensation to untried terrorists in this country, usually in the £mns, than they give to our war heros who have their limbs blown off it shows the government priorities.

Yes, our Government is rotten -vote Labour next time.

What you mean that 'nice' government that took us into Iraq and Afghanistan in the first place?

[Brenden]

Hey steve, did not the Argentinians invade the Falklands .

[Brenden]

Go on steve, surprise me, who did?

[daffy654]

The Labour government didn't take us into a war over the Falkland Islands, that was the Tories.

[Brenden]

It will be to me when you answer my question steve.
