Afghan exit 'biggest since WWII'

Since the world has world wars. It usually have dying and fighting. People have been suffered from these. However, it has good news soon about Afgan exiting of British army.
The British army prepare to biggest exit Afgan since World War 2. The British Army has until the end of next year to bring all theirs equipment home from Afghanistan. It is the biggest logistical operation the military has undertaken. However the Afghans are making the job more difficult by not allowing trucks to cross the border into Pakistan unless they pay a "tax". British equipment there needs to be packed up. It'll fill nearly 10,000 containers, and of those about 4,000 will come home, with the rest either being sold, destroyed or given away. Planes fly in and out every other day, bringing items home, but the rest should be coming by road.
To sum up, the British army is going to withdraw troops and equipment out of Afghanistan. It’s ever been the big logistic operation of UK. There’re moving by trucks and airplanes.

In my opinion, war is good in term of drive bad guys away. However, no one wants to have war in their country. It’s difficult to live and repair that area to be good like the past. It’s better to solve the problem with talking and obey the law.
