Bbc Afghanistan The Lions Last Roar
Much maligned soccer boss. It began with the most searing of images from the archives: 9/11, a clear blue morning, and planes hitting the towers. The Americans went into Afghanistan wanting revenge; the British wanted a peaceful exercise in nation-building. This is a simplification of the clash between missions which emerged through interviews with an impressive line-up of figures, from Sir Richard Dannatt, the former head of the Army, to American military leaders, the head of Afghan intelligence, ambassadors, the ousted warlord governor of Helmand province (“I’m not a warlord!” he said, beaming unconvincingly) and even a Taliban commander. For all the frank admissions of failure from US and British military elite, it was the latter who received the most damning indictment, from a member of the Taliban who said that the British troops had worked in his favour by failing to live up to their promises – and so turning the local people back to the Taliban.

The NATO pull out from Afghanistan is now complete. The NATO coalition lost a grand total of 3.466 dead of which 454 were British in a conflict that can't really be described as anything but a defeat.
Everything from fuzzy objectives to funding shortfalls (shockingly, British troops even lacked clean drinking water) to the sheer difficulty of making a role model out of Helmand, an impoverished and largely illiterate region. Perhaps the failures should not have come as a surprise: the historian William Dalrymple eloquently made the case here that today’s conflict was not exceptional, but rather part of a rumpled, blood-stained fabric stretching back to the doomed imperial battles of the nineteenth century.
