True, Britain is not exactly in the EU, neither was anyone else within the coalition forces I believe...

As well as the RAF and US aircraft, air support is also provided by Dutch and Norwegian F-16s [15] [16] and French Dassault Mirage 2000D ground attack aircraft. AH-64 Apache attack helicopters from the Netherlands, the UK and the USA support NATO and Afghan National Army troops

two wrongs, don't make a right, neither does three...

why are you guys stuck on "Greeks" vs "Turks" when they are the same and against anyone else who they deem different. because you are Greek or Turkish means they blight your betterment, yet you join them in their Intolerance; you're all paid propagandist wanna be(s) it seems.
