I am sure that I recently read that the Taliban captured soldiers, executed them and then hung body parts from the trees......no Geneva convention protection for those boys.
And I'm sure the Taliban would celebrate the loss of British lives..it is just that we don't see it...no head cam footage stored to a laptop.

When my step daughter came back from afghan, we were told a story of a young soldier who went off to find some lost equipment, he was told, wrongly, that he would lose his tour bonus for losing it. He never came back. The Taliban actually radioed to tell where he could be found. He was dead,naked and had been tortured.
