No, i dont agree with sending the SAS there again, it wont do anything, the PRT are all trained in combat all soldiers are. There is no defence against IEDs. This is a terrible situation for our troops to be placed in. Wars have been going on there for many years with no resolution. I know our soldiers believe they are achieving something there, but i'm sceptical. Muslims detest infidels, such as us. As a former 1RNZIR member, i say GET OUR GUYS OUT OF THERE, before anymore are murdered. They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

NZ needs to leave, we have no place there, it is a war started by the US, for reasons that are not legitimate. I say put our resources into areas that are helpful. We are a small nation and money could be better spent with troops helping countries in the pacific.

You forgot to ask JK how the baseball game went? And will he be attending this service? Guess its tricky now, if he does attend then it makes the other two appear less significant but if he does not attend it makes him look like he does not give a stuff. Wonder if his son plays any other sports that would be the easy option!
