So, does it mean we are effectively slowly losing the grip on Afghanistan and it will be another case of an empire getting bruised over that patch of desert?

[Berkut]

We?

[The Brain]

Peace with honor in our time.

[Martinus]

We?

Poland has about 2600 troops in Afghanistan and the death toll of 27 by now. Don't feel like pulling the "our boys" card since I don't think they have a reason to be there, but I thought you would be less flippant about their deaths.

Edit: It appears our contingent is 7th in size, and only slightly smaller than Canadian (2900 troops), with only the US contingent having over 10,000 troops. Hence I think as a Pole I'm fully entitled to say "we" with respect to the NATO forces in Afghanistan.

[Berkut]

OK.
