1,812 NATO soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan

"... a total of 1,812 NATO soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan ..." (The New York Times).

In my campaign to 'bring our [British] boys home now,' I have been guilty of forgetting the tragedy of our NATO allies' losses. 10 more service people, including 7 Americans, were killed yesterday.

Some commentators here and some in the U.S. look upon the Afghanistan campaign as part of 'the war on terror.' I look upon it as a waste of valuable lives that has become our collective Vietnam.

Bring all of our boys home - now.
