Hard to disagree. The other week three soldiers died yet again in a Land Rover vehicle.
You may as well be throwing them to the wolves. Even a well armoured tank like the M1 Abrams can still be damaged by IEDs so what chance do they have in these flimsy vehicles ?
Geoff Buffoon and the other bureaucrats have a lot to answer for but they will never be charged with negligence and poor provision of equipment for our troops with some having to share body armour.
Its a pity the military brass don't kick up such a fiss as when they are still in charge of things though rather waiting to stand down or retire before doing so.
This campaign is not winnable. Unless as like Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now we resort to total unlimited war ie razing everything and killing everything in sight .
The military are already fighting with one hand tied behind their backs ie unable to fire on mosques where Taliban are hiding (from an episode of Ross Kemp in Afghanistan)for instance for fear of flaming local sensibilities.
Just get them out now before any other lives are needlessly lost . Its not our problem and if these followers of Bin Liner ever cause trouble hit them remotely using heavy bombing. We are not capable of policing the world.
The need surely is at home to prevent terrorists entering the country under false pretences or being granted leave to stay.
Its no wonder the French Secret Service who have no compuncion in kiling suspected terrorists from Algeria in France call London Londinistan.
