The death toll in Afghanistan has hit the sad milestone of 204. The death toll of people we actually care about I mean.
The rising death toll among british forces is horrendous. What does me is there seems to be an air of acceptance among the british people. I dont mind saying this but i wept last night. How many more soldiers are going to have to be sacrificed. How many are going to come home with shattered bodies and minds. How long is going to before the british get angry and demand the end to this carnage. RIP to the 380. You will always be in my thoughts.

“I don’t mind saying this but I wept last night”? Ok so it’s good you’re man enough to admit it but what? YOU CALL THAT FUCKING GRIEF? You’ve ballooned the figure to nearly double and you STILL can’t do better than “I wept last night”. Do you even care about the troops, or are you just another tool of George Bush and the Taliban? Show him how it’s done, [philpeacerob]:
I WEEP for the families who have lost loved ones,I cry in ANGER when I hear Gordon Brown say we are fighting to keep Britain safer,and I cry in ANGER when I hear the Bob Ainsworth use the word ‘THEATER’ , His he ashamed to admit that it is a war zone, and his government are sending are troops into the killing fields, If he and any other MP are committed to the Afghan course, I suggest they go into ‘THEATER ‘
I will WEEP for joy when our boys are home, and this government is laid to rest

That’s more fucking like it! This guy blubs at established phrases like “theatre of war”. Beat THAT. Come on you fuckers! CRY FOR THE TROOPS! Do you love the Queen? Do you love Winston Churchill? Well then let’s see some fucking TEARS you PUSSIES! Yeah!
But it’s not all about raw emotion. Sometimes you need to take the rational approach.
I am a reasonably intelligent adult. I do not understand what we are doing in Afghanistan.
Bring the soldiers home.

Well AA, all I can say is, keep using that brain-training thing your aunt got you for Christmas. When you make it up to “actually intelligent” it’ll all seem obvious.
