JD Vance Condemned for Disrespecting British Veterans
US Vice President JD Vance sparked outrage by seemingly dismissing the UK's military contributions, calling it "some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years."
British politicians and veterans condemned his remarks, highlighting the sacrifices of British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, where over 600 died fighting alongside the US.
Vance defended his statement, claiming he wasn't referring to the UK or France, but to other countries lacking battlefield experience.
However, his comments drew criticism from across the political spectrum, with many calling them disrespectful and ignorant of British military history.
Vance's remarks are the latest in a series of controversial statements about America's European allies, further straining relations.

Over 600 British soldiers died fighting alongside the US in Iraq and Afghanistan. JD Vance should be ashamed of himself for dismissing their sacrifice. 😡

It's time for other countries to share the burden of defending the free world. Vance is right to call them out on their lack of commitment. 🇺🇸
