1234364 2011-09-29 04:43:00 Once again a Kiwi Soldier has been killed in a country were he went of his own free will with the intention of killing the the inhabitants. It seems to me that if you invade a country with the intention of dealing to the locals, the chances of getting killed are pretty good - you might say, an occupational hazard. Unlike myself who was conscripted into the Army to be a puppet of the British Government, these men are there of there own choice, in their chosen profession of being soldiers.

If you are willing to be a Government puppet and enter a country of your own free will, you can not complain too much if you come unstuck. Afghanistan is not invading New Zealand, so you are not defending your country. New Zealand should keep out of the squabbles instigated by UK and USA. I sympathise with the family's of the soldiers, but soldiers are liable to be killed.

Those that aren't respectful of the work under taken by NZ soldiers should get the hell out of our fine country.

So by your logic all those fine Kiwi men and women who gave their lives both during the war and after, were idiots and deserved to die?

I don't want to make this personal, but a giant pox on you mzee :(

That was a WAR. Afghanistan is a politically motivated act of interference. Japan would probably have taken over the Pacific. Don't know about Germany. The 2nd World War with Germany was unnecessary as under the treaty signed after the first world war Britain had every right to remove Hitler before he became too powerful. How about the Japs using American bombs on Hawaii? Supplied to use on China. They are all a lot of scum bags.

Of course not! It's the Government to be blamed.

While I will admit that death when you are a soldier is a good possibility I think you are being a prat.

They are.

And then you pick your side, and stand up to be counted.
