    Today I read in the Times that the defence secretary Dr Liam Fox considers withdrawall from Afghanistan would be a betrayal of the dead.
    Well I would be the last person to show any disrespect to our fallen soldiers.
    But the fact is this that they are dead precisely because they were sent to Akghanistan. These victims of political dogma, if they had a voice would in unison call for the withdrawel of all service personnel from this war. What ever the outcome there is no way there (trust I have got the correct "there" this time Bob) sacrifice is worth it. No one asks to be killed in combat,only politicians have the right to put our boys at risk what ever the fallacy of the political cause.
    Surely we can learn from history. This is our third attempt to subdue these rebel Pashtuns and this will be our third time we will be defeated.
    We will remember those who have died. Note I do not refer to the political phrase "Gave there lives" because every one to a man did not Give" his life it was taken from them for a futile cause.
