Follow UK Investment Immigration and UK Information: The Daily Telegraph reported that UK Defense Secretary Philip Hammond stated in a meeting of the Parliamentary Defense Committee that the British involvement in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has led to war fatigue among the British people, who oppose participation in foreign wars. He also mentioned that after the British forces complete their mission in Afghanistan by the end of next year, British troops will not engage in any large-scale military activities in the coming years.
According to a report by the Arab Jerusalem Post on October 11, due to years of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, there is little support among British citizens for military engagement. Hammond acknowledged that this situation will persist for several years until British political and military leaders regain the support of the British people for foreign military engagements.
Currently, there are approximately 7,900 British troops in Afghanistan, and since the invasion of Afghanistan by NATO forces led by the United States in 2001, 444 British soldiers have died.
The UK House of Commons voted against military intervention in Syria this August.
