AFP - Britain's top general in Afghanistan has backed his US commander's call for more foreign troops to fight an increasingly bloody Taliban insurgency, a newspaper said Monday.
It is good that there is more troops going into Afghanistan, whether or not people believe the reasons that our army is involved in the war I think people should accept our soldiers are there and are trynig to make things better.
Some of the statistics of how under supported our troops are in terms of equipment and man-power is shocking. The British Army is the best in the world and has a reputation all over the world for its high quality and high standards. But you cannot expect them to maintain these standards if they are in active war zones with not enough tanks, armour or specialist equipment.
