Quote from: BBC Web Shite

Hundreds of people are lining the streets of a Wiltshire market town to pay their respects to two British soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

The bodies of Lt Col Rupert Thorneloe, 39, from Oxfordshire, and Trooper Joshua Hammond, 18, from Devon, were flown to nearby RAF Lyneham earlier.

Since 2001, a total of 174 UK service personnel have died in Afghanistan.

And for what?  Shrugs:

Pull the troops out now and nuke the bastard lot of them.  cussing:

If they do that then they risk damaging the oil pipeline in the north of the country.

I don't care - nuke them!  cussing:

What is the point of having battlefield nuclear weapons if you don't use them?  Shrugs:
