I'm pretty sure that at one point, even some people from the small island of Tonga were stationed there. That camp transcended more borders than probably exist. Not really surprising it has legendary status across dozens of militaries.

Seems you are very happy for the same .R u the one who is supporting the Talibans?..War on terror wherever it is has to be fought with iron fist . No matter what may come in .This world is a place for peaceful living and if anyone disturbing peace then they have to be iliminated. As simple as that .

I couldn’t believe the a/c units are there. Then I thought, not much electricity around in Afghanistan.

This time make sure the job is done before leaving. Obama left Afghanistan with just a "good luck" and no other support. Now the Taliban is stronger than ever because of it, this must not continue

kiDkiDkiD12 And they should of never of even dismantled camp, bastion and of course we should’ve stayed. We should of kept it because it was a good base and took so much effort and money to build and since the us and U.K. still deploy there, we should’ve just kept the base. We never actually left Afghanistan, we pretty much just took it down for no good reason because troops still deploy. I may be wrong but someone explain.

Agreed... as soon as they realised that it would cost £300 million then we never should've left. That £300 million could've been used for new technology and or now recruits heading into the army... at least something that would benefit more

Trump is in office from last 13+ months.... dropped more bombs in single year since 2011 but still no progress. The Trump administration claimed that will force talibans to come to negotiation table but they (talibans) won't bcz they're in strong position... we're hearing about the negotiations in Qatar but USA is in no position to dictate terms.. Trump administration also claimed after unveiling Afg policy that we'll restore Afg govt control on majority of talibans controlled territory but since then talibans only lost 1% of it's territory to Afg govt...if you look at the progress & at the speed you're gaining territory then it seems it will take another 50 years....by that time trump will be rolling in a grave... This is a lame excuse to put all the blame on Obama....trump has unveiled it's policy, strategy long time ago & he is in office for more thn a year....trump has increased troops level but still districts & towns in Afg are falling in Talibans control - every 2nd day there is a bomb blast in capital Kabul & territory falling in Talibans control...

You can't done the job in 4 years !! That's the problem in USA, whoever comes to the throne he reverses the previous policies & then again work start from 0... For Afg u need a long term policy & consistent approach, it won't work if you keep changing the policy after each govt (4 years term)...if you look at the current (trump) policy, it's very clear that this policy is doomed to fail..

The job was to remove the taliban from every major sector and make the afgan national army ready to take control and assume security of the country but no matter how much training they get they never appear to be ready. Just like the iraqi army they dont appear to be able to secure jack shit and western forces inevitably have to rejoin the fight either on land or via air support. The job was done its just over time become undone.
