Video: Colleagues of dead soldiers prepare for Afghanistan That's our job, no matter what happens. We can't just stop. They wouldn't want us to stop, otherwise we've lost lives for nothing," Private Craig Taylor said. Lance Corpral Mark Brian from the 3rd battalion the Yorkshire Regiment said, "everyone's upset but the training is helping us out a lot." Talking about his family's concerns he added, "they're always going to feel the same about us, where we're going but it will make it a little bit harder." Lieutenant Rob Townsend said that a certain level of fear was helpful on the ground. I think that's good because it keeps your skills and drills that you want to keep constant. When you're on the ground you want to have that edge and keep looking after yourselves and most importantly the guys around us. "We're a strong family regiment and we'll deal with it together," he added.
