these people are reservist. They knew and already accepted that this could happen
Armies do not melt into the civilian population at the first sign of trouble.
maybe it comes from foreign soldiers
Soldiers have the means to defend themselves.
Maybe it's because these soldiers were on Afghani terrain without Afghan people permission?
Reads like cause for a special military operation against the people that allow this
You were operating in a war zone. Things are different there. :)
So those soldiers would be behind enemy lines.
Context man, they were recently in a civil war and the communication and transportation was so bad that towns had to be prepared by themselves to affront any possible Britain retaliation; but now with the biggest army in the world, with carriers, combat helicopters and combat jets doesn't seem to have too much sense.
If they would've used their military experience, they would've not came unarmed.
