Swap Places!,

             Today on hearing of another death of an Australia soldier I immediately felt sick, first it was a knot in my stomach, then sadness, then anger.  The knot stemmed from thoughts of those muslim taliban bastards getting a hard on every-time they kill one of the 'occupiers', 'infidels'  The sadness comes from thoughts of family being informed that a loved one has been killed, and the anger goes to the Australian Govt. for not bringing our people home.  

             I do not understand how on one hand we can have boatloads of 'asylum seekers' coming here, mostly from Afghanistan, most young healthy male muslim and then on the other hand have our healthy young men going over there to Afghanistan to fight.  Why can't we change it around and bring our men home and send the Afghan youth back to Afghanistan.  I for one do not want our men and women to stay in that cesspit for one minute longer.

              Back in 2001 I believed we should be there, I believed that maybe we make a difference but now after 10yrs and knowing the history of the place I say we should hot foot it outa' there, pronto!.  The people of that dreaded country do not want our help, any time we rebuild something or construct a school or hospital the taliban blow it up the next day,.  Don't ask me why they despise us so much because I do not know nor understand the reasoning of a mindset that goes back thousands of years.

              BRING OUR TROOPS HOME, the war in Afghanistan can never be won, it started long before we set foot in the place and will continue long after we leave.  Time to concentrate on being closer to home, defend our country.  I would be proud and honoured to have our troops here at home looking out for us, I would sleep better at night knowing one of the good guys were on watch tonight.
