Afghanistan. It's over at last!

I'm sure we all heard the news this morning that Afghanistans' Army have taken over 'Combat Operations' and that UK Forces (some 5,000) will have a training and supervisory role only, from now on.

So. With luck we've seen our last UK casualty, Thank Goodness.

OTOH, how long before Afghanistan reverts to its earlier, pre-invasion condition?

The Afghan Army General on the Today Prog stated that large areas would be ceded to the Taliban more or less straightaway.

Is this a satisfactory state of affairs given our long struggle there?

What a bloody waste.
