Quotes

...His hair thick with dust, the 30-year-old officer, from Wareham in Dorset, explained: "We spent the past few days observing the Taliban, watching their tactics and looking at the routes they were using. They are a very clever, capable force. 'You can't treat them as insurgents - you have to treat them as if you are fighting the Red Army. They never miss a trick, they watch our every move, and they know our tactics. We have to be very careful. 'And last Saturday, we got the upper hand - in a battle which last around 12 hours, we managed to kill 16. My snipers both got two men each. It was a good day's work.' Although his men are fighting everyday, Lieutenant Colonel Roly Walker, the urbane commanding officer of the Grenadier Guards Battlegroup, is insistent that the first mission of the British force in Helmand is not to kill the Taliban. 'We have to fight to go to work,' he said. 'But our work here is not to fight the Taliban but to try and help in the regeneration of Nad e'Ali. This is an influence operation. What we need to do is prove to the people that the Afghan government is more effective at providing for their needs compared to the insurgents. What I am trying to achieve is to make the people more active participants in the success of their community."

I would dearly love to sit down and talk to these people and ask them what they think they are doing. It is serving no useful purpose at all but we must protect ourselves." In the south of the battle group's area, soldiers from the reconnaissance platoon ambushed a large insurgent force who were attempting to infiltrate...
