A daredevil UK student has come under fire for traveling to Afghanistan last week looking for “risk” — forcing the British Army to evacuate him in the midst of the country’s deadly chaos.
Miles Routledge, 21, told the Spectator that he picked the troubled nation to travel to after doing a Google search for “most dangerous countries to visit” — arriving Friday even though he was aware of the Taliban’s insurgency.
“I like risk,” the student from Birmingham told the Times of London, saying he had previously been to the site of the 1986 Russian nuclear disaster in Chernobyl and also hoped to visit North Korea.
“I hate lying around on a beach, so I wanted to do something a little bit different,” he said, adding that Afghanistan “looked quite nice, the food seemed amazing, and it was dirt cheap

“You forgot Iran!”
And the Southside of Chicago.
The Brits of yesteryear would have stood his silly ass up in front of a firing squad for “risking” the Queen’s military to rescue his sorry ass. Bet he’d have gotten a real thrill out of that. Should have LEFT him there.
Miles is a blithering idiot.
“...saying he had previously been to the site of the 1986 Russian nuclear disaster in Chernobyl...”
At least he won’t be producing offspring.
I see a lot of YouTube videos of people visiting Chernobyl. Its insane.
Made me think of a Billy Joel song. Paraphrasing:
“He was stranded in a combat zone,
He walked through Bedford-Stuy alone,

Too much youthful testosterone raging through his capillaries. He should try punching out windows.
Mother nature will get him eventually.
No doubt, a future Darwin Award winner. A thinning of the herd, as it were.
Ship him to North Korea just like Miles desires, where they will beat him into spaghetti and Warmbeer his brains...
Military recruiters should be banging on that guy’s door. Tell him he can get paid for doing the dangerous stuff if he’d like.
Exactly, he can join the SAS and have the time of his life.
I would have an ‘accidental weapon discharge’.
Kill this jerk before he procreates.
More fun for him if they’d left him there and rescued a more deserving person.
