McChrystal out of Afghanistan

As we listen to the budget the news from 'the front' in Afghanistan is appalling. The whole way forward was based on the surge under the American General McChrystal. He only went and gave an interview to a magazine and the views he expressed in his interview have led to his recall to explain his comments.

The whole expedition is a massive error, this is and always was going to end in tears, and our soldiers have been killed and injured, and they have killed and injured for what? To keep terror off the streets of our country, or for the careers of the generals and the officers concerned.

It is time that not only were the generals recalled, it is time to bring the boys home. We left Iraq with our tails between our legs, and no amounts of parades, or church ceremonies will alter that. It is the same with Afghanistan, get out now, we can't afford it in so many ways.
