History is going to look on utterly bemused about how the United States created the most effective power-projection alliance in the history of the world, designed it explicitly so that the US did not have to intervene in its allies wars of choice, and then ended it when the allies did not intervene in an American war of choice.
Once more, with feeling—with two seconds of effort it's possible to give these statements the weight and seriousness of a demand about a war zone, rather than look like a celebrity apology post.
Our Statement in response to President Trump's comments:
The service and sacrifice of British personnel in Afghanistan cannot be called into question, and we condemn any comments that undermine their extraordinary contribution.
NATO’s Article 5 has only been triggered once. The UK and NATO allies answered the US call. And more than 450 British personnel lost their lives in Afghanistan.
Those British troops should be remembered for who they were: heroes who gave their lives in service of our nation.
And they said it’d never catch on. A picture that speaks 81,855 words.
PS If anyone knows who took this, please let me know and I’ll very happily credit them.
