UK military not defeated in Afghanistan, says head of British armed forces

Even though the UK has not yet officially lost the war in Afghanistan, head of the British Army, General Sir Peter Wall, said that is not correct. In a letter sent to the whole of the UK’s armed forces, he said, “While we have not yet defeated the enemy, we have ensured their defeat will be a very long time coming.”

The British Army has not been defeated in Afghanistan, according to the chairman of the British armed forces. General Sir David Richards, the chief of the defence staff said that the military campaign in Afghanistan is on the “right course” despite repeated criticism of the UK’s efforts in the country.

From 9/11, to the fierce ground fighting, to the complete withdrawal of the United States, this is what happened.
