If we withdraw troops then the threat will be on the streets of London, Birmingham, Manchester, New York, Washington... anywhere they want it to be.
We've chosen our ground to fight on and the people who are fighting are volunteers. They know their risks and are highly trained to deal with them. If they don't want to fight then they are free to leave the Army and return to civilian life. Despite this many UK soldiers are on their third or fourth tour of Afghanistan.
Where do you want the IED threat to be? On the ground in Afghanistan against trained soldiers or against tou every time you take the kids to school, going shopping, go to a pub etc?
