Donald Trump has sparked fresh outrage in the UK after saying Nato troops stayed “a little off the front lines” during the war in Afghanistan.
Labour MP Emily Thornberry, the chair of the foreign affairs committee, called it an “absolute insult” to the 457 British service personnel killed in the conflict, while Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said: “How dare he question their sacrifice?”
Conservative MP Ben Obese-Jecty, who served in Afghanistan, said it was “sad to see our nation’s sacrifice, and that of our Nato partners, held so cheaply”.
The UK was among several allies to join the US in Afghanistan from 2001, after it invoked Nato’s collective security clause following the 9/11 terror attacks.

How is that not the most based thing Trump has done?
Avoiding an unjust war of aggression for any reason should be commended, not criticised
Thanks for your insights Captain Bonespurs.

Giving him the rank of a Captain is an insult to any capable soldier.
There are a lot of US military oathbreakers who are using and insulting the words captain,officer, soldier.
…Says the guy who avoided the Vietnamese front line
How the hell would he know about the frontlines lol
He knows a lot about avoiding the front lines
Let’s see how many knots Farage ties himself in trying to defend this latest nonsense
This man has never punched in the face.
And it’s a damn shame.
More bullshit spewing from that idiot’s mouth.
Draft dodging idiot*
Have they ever even evoked the article 5 of the defensive NATO alliance when they invaded Afghanistan?
This is the stupidity of NATO. Article 5 was invoked because article 5 is ambiguously worded and left open for abuse. A terrorist cell doing an act of terror is grounds for invoking article 5. But terrorist cells don’t have borders so who are you defending yourself from? Depending on how brazen you are you can point the finger at any country and say “that’s where the terrorists are” and then go invade that country.
They should never be there in first place.
Europe should have never gotten itself involved in US oil wars, article 5 be damned. In a way I am glad the veneer of civilty has been stripped from transatlantic relations, and we can stop bending backwards every time Washington farts.
I love the smell of leopards eating faces in the morning.
this is hilarious
