As we remember the bravery of men and women during D Day 1944, let us not forget those who at this present time are putting their lives on the line for our continuing, current freedom. A senior military source said that a Nato-led force was likely to have to provide close air support, casualty evacuation and logistics to the Afghan National Army beyond the official draw-down in December 2014. The source suggested Britain’s military involvement after the draw-down was likely to be far more significant than previously thought. Ministers have previously only announced the involvement of about 100 British soldiers in training Afghan officers at a military academy known as ‘Sandhurst in the sands’. Mr Cameron acknowledged on Saturday that Britain was committed to supporting the Afghan army financially ‘long after’ 2014 and he did not rule out offering other forms of support.
