British army faces existential crisis
The British army, together with those of other European countries, is facing an existential crisis.
Britain has the ``resources and resolve'' to succeed in Afghanistan, the Government has insisted after 10 years of war in the country, the Loughborough News reported Sunday.This week marks a decade since the US and UK launched the campaign known as Operation Enduring Freedom in the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks.And the British administration is offering a cautiously optimistic assessment, while acknowledging that mistakes have been made.A Foreign Office spokesman said: ``Progress over 10 years has been uneven. At times, the international community lacked a cohesive plan and adequate resources to respond to an insurgency more resilient and adaptable than anticipated.''
