For a reason only really known to our political masters, British troops remain in Afghanistan. Unsurprisingly, some get killed from time to time though it is pretty disgusting that most recent deaths appear to have been the result of actions by supposedly friendly Afghans.
Afghanistan has always been a disaster area and numerous invasions going back at least 200 years have all ended in failure. The tribal culture of the country is such that attempts at 'westernization' or even any form of civilization are doomed; for some reason, we seem to keep forgetting this and our troops keep dying.
Why on earth don't we just leave the Afghans to fight amongst themselves as they have done for countless generations ?
