I personally advocate a policy of total war on al-qaeda. I think the sky above Afghanistan should be black with hellfire equipped reaper drones, we should kill them with IEDs, we should equip the Afghans and give them the means to put the whole damned lot of them down. To hell with the cost. I have seen footage of these extremists and how they treat their own countrymen who they think have joined the western cause. All countries whether arabic, western or asian should join the fight and eliminate these people before they can organise and plan more terror attacks.
Many more young men will lose their lives and be injured, but it will be a relative handful compared to the dozens of civilians who might otherwise be blown up or shot by terrorists committing atrocities.
We are sending eighteen year olds out there who are inexperienced and haven't the equipment they should have to defend themselves. Yes to hell with the cost, but make sure our lads have what they need to get them home safely. How many chinooks have we? I seem to recall that there are twenty and by the number that are flying over my fields, they sure aren't where their needed. Our lads do a brilliant job but they need equipping properly. Yes they volunteer for the job and know what is expected of them but would you send your kids out with a scythe to cut a 40 acre hayfield? My respect goes to the people of Wootton Bassett who make sure our boys come home to a heroes welcome.
