The head of the army, General Sir Richard Dannatt, has paid tribute to the armed forces after a weekend where five more British troops were killed in Afghanistan, taking the death toll to 204. British forces spokesman in Afghanistan, Lieutenant Colonel Nick Richardson, says moral among British soldiers serving out there is still high, despite the deaths.
There have now been 204 deaths in Afghanistan in the eight years since the conflict started. What's morale like among troops there?
What is that moment like for troops out in Afghanistan when they hear that one of their mates has been killed?
What kind of progress is being made at the moment against the Taliban?
Lt Col Nick Richardson says public support is greatly appreciated
Does the change of tactics, using IEDS, indicate that they are running out of ideas?
The defence secretary, Bob Ainsworth, has said the war is still winnable. Is that possible?
It seems you still have the support of the families of loved ones who have been killed in Afghanistan saying the fight is still very much worth it. Do you think that's true?
