@BenObeseJecty To be fair, I think it's done exactly what it needed to do, everyone is talking about it and no doubt it's making people think about what they're doing.
@mrscmway I'm also a bit to young but what strikes me is that it is the reason it is remembered so well by those who lived it, is because it was such an outlier, so extreme for the time. Unfortunately I don't think '26 will be the same.
“We’ve never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them. You know, they’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this and that. And they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines”
I served in Afghanistan. I saw first hand the sacrifices made by British soldiers I served alongside in Sangin where we suffered horrific casualties, as did the US Marines the following year.
I don’t believe US military personnel share the view of President Trump; his words do them a disservice as our closest military allies.
It’s sad to see our nation’s sacrifice, and that of our NATO partners, held so cheaply by the President of the United States.
