In Afghanistan, the British Government is refusing to resupply high cost warfighting material due to the cost. As British troops valiantly oppose the Taliban, much of their gear is slowly falling apart. If the situation continues, the British soldiers will become less and less combat effective and their morale will sink further and further.
British soldiers fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan
have had dozens of urgent requests for operational equipment turned
down on cost grounds, it can be revealed.
Demands
by officers for attack weapons and vital tools, as well as night-vision
equipment and thermal-imaging devices used to distinguish friend from
foe, have all been refused by the Ministry of Defence.
