The 'freedom' our troops are dying for?

If you look at the links there's everything from helping farmers, medical services, police force and women.

Our troops are working so hard out there to make a difference, it would be awful to think it had all been done in vain.

Quoted from there

The medics have also aided the hearts and minds approach to the locals by treating low-level cases, especially children, for example, cuts and sores.
Petty Officer Medical Assistant Rab Pope, the practice manager for the FOB Jackson Regimental Aid Post, said:

"We have had to deal with some bad injuries - the fighting has been fierce here, but the medics have worked incredibly hard.
"On many occasions we have formed bonds with local people due to the follow-up treatment of their injuries and medical complaints. This is important as it helps all our forces operating in the area - we are here to win the consent of the local people after all."
