There were two, distinct, campaigns running side by side. OEF was more kinetic, and primarily US (with support from the UK and a few others) and NATO ISAF, which was there to stabilise, train and assist, not execute seek and destroy. Many US pers never left the wire either.
Great video of the Hawk that crashed today taking off, flames can be clearly seen at the top of the spine of the aircraft around the Microturbo area. Thankfully they banged out ok, no casualties #avgeek

Our charity exists to save lives at sea. Our mission is to save every one. Our lifesavers are compelled to help those in need without judgement of how they came to be in the water. They have done so since the RNLI was founded in 1824 and this will always be our ethos.
15 chapters into The Battle of Britain and I’m still waiting for Al to say in reference to the French, “All the gear and no idea” @James1940 @almurray @audibleuk
Hope Guy Mowbray puts the misery commentary onto Argentina tomorrow just like he did for England in the semi final. @5liveSport

Sounds like a decision was made. Fine, it was never my decision to make.
A word of caution, though: When we let this slide we send a message to everyone from the T-6 drivers to the B-52 drivers that they can get away with it, too. And they will try.
When – not if – something goes wrong, the press & politicians on both sides are going to hang everyone in the chain of command. There will be no safe harbors or protectors. The public will want heads. I can already see the headlines & it reads just like the B-52 crash at Fairchild. It will be a scandal.
I don’t want the pilot to lose their wings, or even be kicked out of the military, but when there is no discipline, that sends a message.
Trying to defend a One nil lead against Argentina is insane. @5liveSport @FIFAWorldCup #606
