We seem to have left Afghanistan in a worse state than before we got there.

It's estimated around 500 of our British troops were killed and countless more injured.

This is not meant to be a "knocking" exercise, but why in the 21st century do we still feel the need to impose ourselves with military interventions in the sovereignty of other states?

500 men and women lost and countless billions spunked and the Taliban are back in control in a matter of weeks.

What was the point?
