Afghanistan

The situation in afghanistan is difficult. there's no real reason why we're there. i think the main reason for UK/US presence in the country is that they're trying to set up a democratic governing system. problem is that the afghans really don't want one, nor do they like outsiders occupying their land. the UK has had multiple experiences fighting the afghans and have had alot of trouble in that region, mainly because they're such dedicated, bastard fighters; who will literally fight tooth and claw to get you the fuck out of there. they actually developed a tactic, called butcher and bolt, which they employed against towns and such, as the name implies, they run and kill a load of people, the get the fuck out of there. and it worked pretty well. now though it's impossible to employ such dirty tactics and avoid war crime accusations thanks to NATO. basically we have a load of troops over there trying to maintain control over the regions while some dipshits far far away decides what the best course of action is. while the natives are getting more and more pissed off. it's a fucking shambles.

TL;DR shit is fucked

The British fucked up when they drew up alot of the borders, for example for thousands of years tribes bordering Iran and Afghanistan have intermarried and generally regard themselves as one and the same people....but the Brits decide to put an imaginary line between them and expect the people to abide by them.
So when fighters cross the border from either Pakistan or Iran its like WTF are those governments even trying not realising these people feel a natural kin to those across in Afghanistan and feel they have to go help them against the allies.
Its all so FUCKED
