FIVE more soldiers killed on Tuesday and others injured while involved in training the Afghanistan police.
Then another death reported on Thursday, taking the total lost there since 2001 to 230.
It is time all political parties got together and made a firm decision on what action to take. I don’t care what they are fighting for over there, it is just not worth it.
Let’s look after our own people first. Bring the troops home.
