So it's been said. So stop your moaning and get back to work, that's the normal reason for a statement like that.
Or will anything happen to sort the mess out?
Eleven British service personnel have been killed in Afghanistan since 8 June, seven of them from the Parachute Regiment.
Sounds like things are going to get a lot worse before anything gets better. Afgan tours for the next 10 - 20 or even 30 years to come.
