UK troops in Afghanistan are fighting 'as hard as soldiers in the Second World War' British soldiers will always fight `hard` its in their DNA I think it is unhelpful to compare different conflicts. I read a comment in the book `Dusty Warriors` an officer saying his men in Iraq were far more intelligent than the soldiers who fought in the Falklands. One things for sure a soldier who took a bullet and was killed on D Day is the same `Dead` as one killed today in Helmand. The huge difference between WW2 and today’s conflicts is that a large majority of the British public think it has nothing to do with them and don’t see any threat to them from terrorism, unlike the Blitz .
Britain and Argentina both claim rights to Falkland Islands seabed The Argies know that the UK is over stretched militarily, but we still have Trident Nuclear Missiles?
Soldiers' honour march back on Good on ya Veterans of Preston, if you want something doing right , do it yourself.

Fears over British Army image misplaced Don’t forget Fiji how the British Government has treated the Gurkhas.
WILL AB FAB JOANNA TAKE A STAB AT POLITICS? Why not see seems to have more brains and integrity than most of them in the Houses Of Treason.
Revealed: a web of police bids to infiltrate protest groups Browns secret police at work, they are no different than Robert Mugabes police force.
Edwin Bramall: Don't be sentimental. We have treated the Gurkhas well Utter tosh Brammel, this left wing rag will love this garbage.
Briefing: Gurkhas: Soldiers spurned
Sunday Joke
A Government Scientist, a Diplomat and a Squaddie are captured by the Taliban and are taken to remote Pakistani prison.
After a week in solitary, they are brought one by one in front of the prison governor, a man bored and almost permanently pissed. To each he gives the challenge: "Tonight I will give you 3 x 2cm steel ball bearings, go back to your cells and prepare a trick to show me tomorrow, if yours is the best trick I will let you go free"
The three retire to their cells with their ball bearings, the next morning the Diplomat is up first.
"Have you got a trick for me?"
"Yes, I have developed a method of standing 3 x 2cm steel ball bearings one on top of each other so they stand in an unsupported column!!" The Diplomat shows his trick and is warmly congratulated by the Governor.
The next up is the Government Scientist:
"Have you got a trick for me?"
"Yes, I have developed a method of standing 3 x 2cm steel ball bearings one on top of each other so they stand in an unsupported column AT AN ANGLE OF 45 DEGREES!!" The Scientist shows his trick and is warmly congratulated by the Governor.
Last up is the Squaddie
"Have you got a trick for me?"
"No!"
"What do you mean, No?"
"No, no trick!"
"What have you done with your three ball bearings?"
"Well..... I broke two and lost one!!"
Our military humiliation in Afghanistan is a scandal - and the cover-up is an even greater one Yes I agree with this assessment but its not the fault of the guys on the ground it’s the fault of the Socialists who are destroying our military through under funding. Unfortunately like in 1982 the Empire cannot strike back any longer.
Starved Soldiers Serve Queen And Country Yes starving for a Change in Government and the resurrection of our military.
Gurkhas commemorate Anzac Day alongside Kiwi counterparts At least when the Gurkhas stand together with the Australians and the New Zealanders they know they are with true friends.

The £100m fallout These men were guinea pigs and deserve their compensation to make what little they have left of their lives more comfortable.
SAS EXPANDS IN BID TO WIN TERROR WAR This is definitely the way forward to combat terrorism and its much cheaper than funding conventional armies
