re: #167 Belafon

Over 3,000,000 Vietnamese perished in that war as compared to about 100,000 Afghans. For anyone to proclaim how this is “worse” than Vietnam at this early stage is sheer hubris. But given he is British, it is not surprising. They are still suffering from psychological wounds occasioned by their loss of empire and they think that we should keep a “strong upper lip” and let our men and women die in order to preserve our pseudo empire.
