[rangliansoldier]

@Cullyy1989 Really? You watched this program and thought these lads looked like blood thirsty young men? They might not get the big picture of what its about... mainly due to the fact they were only a couple of weeks into their training when they mentioned it which is understandable as they werent trained for the Afghan war they were just trained for a war. The political, social and kinetic specifics of the Afghan campaign are taught after basic training.

@moonomatic

i asked you for where you got your facts from, i know the truth as far as my sources go, i reckon you need to do some more fact finding, the truth is now a high proportion of the combatants that British and ISAF forces are fighting are not fighters from Afghanistan, they are in fact foreign fighters from across the Pakistani and Iranian borders, this can be seen in the switch from small arms battles (2006) to the more profound use of IED's (2007+). take note that it isn't a US war.

[moonomatic]

@TheSalway If you don't want to know the truth you won't look for it.

Evidently you don't want to know.

You are happy in your bubble of safety and western thinking.

Imagine if you were an Afghani and another country invaded your country and started a war.

I think you would fight back wouldn't you?

Well that is what they are doing. Fighting back against the invaders.

They didn't start the war.

USA did. Now they are in a shit load of debt and are still fighting a war they will never win.

[moonomatic]

@425ajl "no, there not" I'm guessing you were trying to write: "No they're not."

They were the government up until 2001.

In 2001 they were ousted by the U.S. Military.

They are now considered a rebellious militia group when the fact of the matter is they just want control of their country back and for the westerners to leave them the fuck alone.

If you push them into a corner of course they are going to fight back.

Wouldn't you do the same?

[TheSalway]

@moonomatic im not trying to change the fact however i would like to know where you are getting the figures from as i am unaware of any official numbers of civilian casualties due to the remoteness and tribal nature of the country of Afghanistan, it is also important to note that many civilian casualties in Afghanistan since 2001 are down to IED's and killings by Taliban/Islamic extremists and not as a result of ISAF fire. however it must be said that some are killed caught in the crossfire.

[moonomatic]

@TheSalway This still doesn't change the fact that more people have died since the invasion of troops from foreign military including the U.S. and U.K.

[TheSalway]

@moonomatic im not being hypocritical, we are not the government of Afghanistan now are we, we aren't ruling there. the UK, US and 47 other countries in Afghanistan are part of I.S.A.F which is aiding the new government of the Islamic republic of Afghanistan. the reason people are dying is down to the fact that Afghanistan happens to be in a civil war. it should be said the 1000's were killed under Taliban rule due to there believe as opposed to being unfortunate casualties of war
