It seems to me that Britain's biggest enemy in Afghanistan, is not the Taliban but their own generals and politicians....

They just announced on the news that they are launching the biggest operation im Helmand province....

Yeah, right, give the enemy enough notice, and tell them exactly where you will be, so they have a good chance of preparing well and kill or maim more troops then if it was a surprise attack.....

This is not the 40'ies, no need to plant fifth columns of spies in enemy country....
Nowadays is done on the internet... I wouldn't be surprised at all if they actually publish the exact number of troops involved, units, logistics and where they will be marching and what uplifting army songs they will be singing while yomping the miles away...

The people that need hanging for high treason are in government...

Seems like the lessons of nearly 30 years ago were not learned when the BBC World Service informed listeners of 2 Paras imminent arrival at Goose Green, thus giving the Argentinians vital warning
