The former Labour Prime Minister has been torn apart after news Britain will withdraw nearly all its troops from Afghanistan following the US plan to withdraw its troops by September 11, 2021. Mother of a war hero, Caroline Munday, said Tony Blair should not have sent troops there is they were not prepared to go themselves.
Speaking to Sky News, Ms Munday said: “I absolutely hate Tony Blair and I actually wrote to him would he be so sure of this war and committing our guys to this war that he would send his own son, Euan.
“All I got back was a load of guff.
“If they’re not prepared to go themselves and put their boots on the floor then don’t commit our sons and daughters.”
There are about 750 British soldiers in Afghanistan who would struggle without US support because of the reliance on US bases and infrastructure.
