- Description
In two frames two men sit in a bar having a beer and reading a newspaper. One of them wonders why New Zealand is sending 70 SAS troops back to Afghanistan but when the second man reads that the Taleban came close to seizing Pakistan nukes on three occasions the first man sweats with fear and starts to think that 70 may not be enough. Refers to the decision by the government to send several deployments of 70 SAS troops to fight in Afghanistan following a request from the United States. This is a contentious decision as many New Zealanders think we should stick with reconstruction and avoid direct combat.
