that's true, and it's probably because our "training" is _ok shut up, take a tank._ Ok, but seriously the issue is that we train them up to use expensive airstrikes and cruise missiles, which obviously they don't have, and when they try to go out on their own, they don't know how to fight without them.
Jack Where did you get that rubbish from? Afghan has no air force and American assets aren't there no more so definetly no airstrikes o I don't think we're training them to do so. British training is the best. Why we kick ass around the world and for such a tiny island the influence the Brits have had well do I need to go on?

Armies have fought and defeated armies, empires have fought and defeated empires but you can’t defeat an ideology and people group in the same way. Afghanistan is a failed state and has no cohesion. It’s a patchwork of many different tribes and groups. The Taliban can’t be defeated with bombs and bullets and Afghanistan can’t be made to work by Western militaries.

Harley-Ray Hillman Have you ever asked why terrorists attack the western world? It’s because we attack them. The US and Britain’s involvement in the Middle East in general has been catastrophic.

Any soldiers on here? I heard havin a peak in your beret was a no no unless you were an elite regiment like paras or marines etc? Those afghan boys a few are wearin it... just curious :) cheers
Lets hope their performance is better than years earlier when Wikileaks revealed that the Americans and the Afghan President were very disappointed with the performance of British forces in Helmand and had to be withdrawn and replaced by American troops, how embarrassing that was? On that occasion the British were found to be hiding behind the walls of their camp, leaving the Afghan farmers to fend off the Taliban by themselves, how humiliating to be exposed by Wikileaks like that?
The Brits are still in Afghanistan because they didn’t cut and run. The way the Americans left was 🙈disgraceful. There were many killed including U. S. MARINES because of the way they left. They also left the Afghan Nationals who had helped them to the “mercy” of the Taliban. The U.S. didn’t withdraw from Afghanistan in an orderly and planned operation. The U.S. RAN!! The issue is about staying or going it’s about the manner in which they left. The U.S. Vice President said they had a plan and were following it. REALLY? They left with the people they promised to help stranded. The Military Aircraft and the chartered aircraft had empty seats on them. They also left American Nationals behind with the advice that they lay low. The President said they weren’t going to leave anyone behind . SHAMEFUL! 🇬🇧GOD SAVE THE KING🇬🇧
Why are the Brits still in Afghanistan? Because the troubles ended, and they need a site for live fire excercises to keep the soldiers at peak usefulness. If it weren't here, itd be any othe theater of war for same purpose
