NATO troops ‘stayed a little back from frontlines’ in Afghanistan – US President Trump

I honour the 158 Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan. They didn’t “stay a little back, a little off the front lines.” Their familes have a folded Canadian flag and lifetime of sorrow because Canada showed up when America called. pic.twitter.com/aUZ2DzybMS

We are no longer relying on just the strength of our values, but also on the value of our strength.

We are building that strength at home. pic.twitter.com/RuJHupU5wv

BREAKING: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer just DEMANDED an apology from Trump for his “appalling” comments about UK troops who died fighting alongside Americans in Afghanistan. Trump’s comments are rightfully drawing backlash from world leaders.

Absolutely fuming. To those who lost sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, friends and comrades, I'm sorry you have to see this, sorry you have to hear this, sorry you have to endure this from the president of the United States. Your sacrifice is not forgotten by those with souls. pic.twitter.com/PdavwX7cPx

More than 40,000 Canadian Armed Forces personnel served in Afghanistan mission

Shame on anyone who underplays the significance of those impacted and the 158 members lost

Shame Shame Shame

"They stayed back a little" has quickly become an International battle cry. Trump has become the most hated man on the planet. Trump views friendship as a weakness. He has destroyed America's integrity on the World 🌎 stage.. pic.twitter.com/kUrEXcVBX3

I can assure Scott Bessent that Canadians don’t want what Americans have. We don’t want school shootings; we don’t want to go bankrupt if we are hospitalized; we don’t want Project 2025; & we don’t want to get arrested & locked in a detention centre because we aren’t white.

I don’t think the US president will read this post, but I feel obliged to pay tribute to the dozens of Netherlands soldiers who have died in Afghanistan. Even the son of our Chief of Defense was killed in action. Because the Netherlands saw it as its duty to help an ally.… pic.twitter.com/J1Fu2FKPhQ

“It’s a series of disgraceful statements, shameful untruths from President of USA who is a historical illiterate. It’s not just that 158 Canadians fought and died we led largest battalion-size combat ops on ground in NATO history!” 🇨🇦 Fmr Amb

"I have bled from Flanders to Panjwaii."

40,000 Canadian soldiers deployed to Afghanistan alongside US soldiers.

158 Canadian soldiers died fighting alongside the US in Afghanistan. Thousands of Canadians were injured.

We will remember them.

While we are on the topic of the war in Afghanistan I will never forget that the first 4 Canadians to be die were killed by the 332d Expeditionary Operations Group.

The 332d is part of….the U.S. Air Force.

Actually, those are fatalities and don't include civilians like journalist Michelle Lang. "Casualties" in military speak include the wounded. We tend to forget/ignore the people who have been left physically and mentally disabled by war. https://t.co/8UZt0PNV39

The first 4 Canadian soldiers who died in Afghanistan were killed by American F-16 dropping a bomb on them, believing they were Taliban.

158 Canadian servicemen were killed in Afghanistan defending American freedom!
