Because it is up to the president
no they did not
The UK and the USSR.
Afghanistan is 3:30 hours ahead of UK.
The last declared war was WW2.The Afghani War was a war about the US, UK, and Afghanistan VS. the terrorist groups in Afghanistan. The Senate always declares war, it is part of the constitution, and since we have been in the Afghani War for 10 years now, yes the Senate approved.
The United States is not at war with any country. The United States is at war with terrorism in the Middle East. The US has not declared war on any nation since World War II. Currently, the US is only involved in the War in Afghanistan, but is not a total beligerent. The War in Afghanistan is currently being fought between Afghanistan and terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and the Taliban. The US is merely supporting Afghanistan by supplying troops, supplies, and overseeing the government, just as the UK is. The same issue was present in the Iraqi War. The US was not at war with Iraq, they were supporting Iraq.
The UK, or more correctly, the government of the UK, sees Afghanistan as a threat. Not the populace but certain factions within the country. By far, the greater number of the citizens in the UK do not look upon Afghanistan as an 'enemy'. Politics and warfare are controversial matters. Often our so called public servants, who are, in reality our masters, do much in our name that we deplore.
Around 9500
In the first year of the Afghanistan War, which began in October 2001, a total of 12 British soldiers died. Most of these casualties occurred during combat operations and as a result of accidents or friendly fire. The conflict marked the beginning of a prolonged military engagement for the UK in Afghanistan.
The civil war in Afghanistan is still surging on and seems it will continue for some time. The United States has committed many thousands of troops as have many other countries such as the UK, Canada and France.
As of October 2021, a total of 457 British military personnel have died as a result of the Afghanistan conflict, which began in 2001. The fatalities include both combat-related deaths and those resulting from accidents and illness. The toll reflects the UK's significant involvement in the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan over two decades. For the most current figures, it's advisable to consult official government sources or recent reports.
Because apparently ages ago we made a deal or something went on with them and we had to do something for them and then the war started so we had to go over there. pretty stupid i think lol
Anyone can drive in the UK provided they have a full and valid driving licence for the vehicle they wish to drive.
