Defence would be the best judge of that. As I understand it they consider that the job is done, so I assume they will shortly begin their exit plan.

Its my understanding the locals dont want them there anymore and are become hostil to them. (listening to BBC)

I think they need to come home, they have made as much progess as can be done.

Being exarmy my self i have mates over there and they have been told not until mid 2013 at this time....
But i think we have done a top job so lets bring them home all together................

If the job is done properly them bring them home as planned but lets not make the same mistake george bush snr madewith iraq and have to go back in 10 years time do it once and be done with it/them seen a report that said 70% of the population will follow who ever is in charge so not much loyalty there

They have a level of respect for their leadership, whoever that may be. We don't.

It's a political decision, not a military strategic one.

The only real difference is the extremes of the govt over there, ours are pretty middle of the road compared to the Taliban etc. I would like to believe that if we some how ended up with and extreme govt Of either left/right or religious the majority would oppose them
