The post you are reporting:
The bottom line is that our troops are, as part of their jobs and duties, in the firing line for us, and some are making the sacrifice of their lives. That we have let them down in terms of equipment is not in dispute, neither is our failure to ensure moral support at its highest level, although many individuals and groups have made up for that, such as in Wooton Basset. Most of us would agree, if we looked at the evidence, that Afghanistan is indeed different to Iraq, and that we need to be there in our own interests, and not just economic. All governments have been responsible for underfunding, although the government of the day bears responsibility for current issues.
I would just like to say a thank you to all those serving there, all their families and friends who are supporting them, and to all those who will never return.
