Afghan War
So Brown says our troops will have the best equipment over the next few months
......we've been at war for 8 years!!!
We are fighting to protect Britain.....I thought the 7/7 bombers had British passports and learnt the trade in Pakistan
Dear Mr Brown,
I offer you one word to save lives.....HELICOPTERS
You can even by Blackhawks off the shelf from the US one of the safest and best troop carriers you can buy. We still have 8 choppers mothballed that we bought new off the US over 10 years ago!!

7/7 bombers did have UK passports,but they attended training camps in NWFP,its the lawless region right on the Afghanistan border,the demarcation line is hazy in that area.We arent going to win in affie,country is too harsh,tribal loyalty is too strong,this is going to drag on for years,but helicopters will cut down casualty numbers,the americans fly everywhere,we use roads,thats the danger-zone,easy to bury an IED and remote trigger it sadly.
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

they are trying to win the hearts of Afghan people and communicate, extremely difficult to do in a chopper.

Choppers are also used to deploy squaddies into tactical areas,its a must in Afghanistan,once your off the beaten-track the country is incredibly rough.

Ever heard of Senlis and its Drug Policy? I've 'transcribed' an interview for one of its people. They do have this counter insurgency tactics and so on... This people work hard to try and maintain peace and control the poppy lobbying activity in Afghanistan. But I do agree with Tawi this country has a very strong tribal loyalty. Afghan is an impossible mission!!! Originally Posted by Tawi2
