It was on the news today that 8 more american soldiers and 2 afgan soldiers were killed in an attack today in the deadliest attacks on coalition soldiers for more than a year.
Also in this battle which happened in Nuristan province which is in the remote eact of the country , local officials and police chief were captured by the taliban.
Again this is bad and when any troops die it is not good and whatever country they come from and however often it happens , my thoughts will always be withthier familys.
This is a war which i do not think we will ever win , so like others have said we need to bring our troops home , if our troops were to be at home insted of afganistan we could use the money we are spending out there on helping improve our own country , maybe make sure our schools are up to the best standars or our hospitals have the best equipment there is with the best doctors and nirses trianed.
Or maybe we could spend it on making sure we had enough police walking the streets , which i am sure in my opinion would mean less crime.
If you get Police walking down streets every few hours who have a regular beat and know thier community it would be a step back to community policing , they would know the trouble areas and maybe even get respect from the locals , I am not saying this would end crime but knowing your local bobby like in the days of old would heed results and maybe cut crime.
The other alternative is for the UN to send as many troops to the afgan region as possible and smoother the area with a huge force and systematically move and remove all the taliban again this would not eradicate the probelm but if there were enough soldiers with the best equipment to protect themselves , it may help , but it would have to be a joint force with every country sending the same amount of soldiers.
We need to resolve this problem as soon as possible in one way or another with as little loss of life on both sides as possible.
