I always thought there had to be 6mths between tours before they were allowed inTheatre , I think afganistan is going to be another Viatmam pray to god it isnt, Of course I think this country is worth fighting for, I dont reckon much to government as it is, I am glad that people thought it was 60 years ago when some were away fighting for all of the 6 years.


your grandson will be in my prayers Bernie and his mates xx

I was touched by a comment I read from a young serving soldier: he said that if he wasn't fighting in Afghanistan we'd end up fighting them in the UK and the deaths would be far greater.

Being an Army wife I see first hand what effect this war has on soldiers and their families..We have already lost a friend and have another friend who is on his way to Afghan, he has 4 young children under the age of 10...
My heart goes out to the wounded and the guys that don't make it home, but at the end of the day they join the army knowing that one day they may be called upon to give their lives....

We may win the battle but not the war!!
