patsylabrador Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Must have been a strange day for the soldiers leaving there today. Lots of memories, happy and sad, and thoughts of their fallen comrades. sangin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 They should not have been there. They are & were someone's son or daughter. My heart goes out to all of them & their families. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I was very moved by the soldiers that were interviewed for the news last night. They seemed so deflated that the time and loss of friends had not given them the successful outcome that they were hoping for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 They seemed so deflated that the time and loss of friends had not given them the successful outcome that they were hoping for. But not surprised I suspect. The Russians were there for 10 years for equal effect,but at least they had the excuse of supporting the Marxist-Leninist government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan at their own request against the Mujahideen. We are losing the lives of our soldiers at the request of the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
