Boot out armchair generals who led us to Afghan defeat| Afghan Election News | The Week UK:"We lost in Helmand, beaten by a few thousand men in flip-flops with a Kalashnikov in one hand and a Koran in the other. In the process, 448 British troops were killed and 2,173 wounded. The cost to the hard-pressed taxpayer was around £37 billion according to one estimate. All for nothing, as will become increasingly apparent over the next couple of years as the Taliban re-establish their control over the area."
