Four more British squaddies killed in the most pointless war of all time

When the Taliban rock up into Kabul, and retake Afghanistan, about three months after the US pulls out its imperial legions and its tributary auxiliaries from the UK (and other provinces), and the helicopters leave from the embassy roofs, we will wonder what the hell we were ever doing in Afghanistan in the first place.

And so, another four British soldiers lose their lives while the general donkeys and the politician donkeys dither back in London, over brandy and cigars, about how to get out of Afghanistan without any of them being 'embarrassed'.
