Served 2 tours in NI 74 and 76 we lost a total of 32 of our finest warriors, was it worth it , maybe, should we ever have been in Afghanistan, never. We fought three major campaigns there and never resolved anything. I still have contact with a few mates and now in our 60's we meet and chew the fat of old times and the current ones and we still come away thinking when will we ever learn. God bless all those we lost, you will remain in our memories for ever, rest easy your duty is done.
