Speaking on Sky News today, General Sir Nick suggested the Taliban wanted an 'inclusive' country - despite their record of oppressing women and enforcing a brutal version of Sharia law.
He described the militant regime as a, 'disparate collection of tribespeople...country boys,' adding, 'They happen to live by a code of honour.'
Andrew Neil claimed the top soldier had 'joined the Taliban PR team' and pointed out General Sir Nick had previously suggested that the Afghan Army 'was a formidable fighting machine'.
Military Cross recipient Trevor Coult, who did five tours of Iraq and Afghanistan, blasted him as 'deluded' and 'out of touch'.
The ex-staff sergeant from Suffolk claimed General Sir Nick 'knows as much about Afghanistan as Prince Harry'.

He’s got a job waiting for him on the Xiden team, any time he wants it.
~~~~~Neville Chamberlain, September 30, 1938.
How’s the Taliban doing on Joe Biden’s request that they include Lesbian, Gay, and Transsexual people in their dictatorship?
A lot depends on how you define things, and who accepts those definitions.
Trying to keep an open mind,
He could very well be trying to butter up those good ole boys enough to get people out of there.
President Trump played the same game and it was effective.
“The ex-staff sergeant from Suffolk claimed General Sir Nick ‘knows as much about Afghanistan as Prince Harry’.”
Ouch! The truth hurts.
The full folly of that moment can’t be captured completely in words because it is necessary to see the way Chamberlain confidently waved his “piece of paper” about, as if it is represents something all of Britain can have confidence in.
Very true. Many times have I've seen that picture, and the event captured that day on film.
They’re very conservative Islamic types Which is of course evil
But they feel that they have the best interest of the people
“disparate collection of tribespeople”
True.
“country boys”
Also true, if he means they are not from cosmopolitan places.
“They happen to live by a code of honour.”
3/3 so far. That code they like is weird and foreign to me, but they seem to take it seriously. Why is “happen to” in there?
“want a country that’s ‘inclusive to all’”
Um, no. I don’t think they even claim this, so why is a British general claiming it? A country that is ‘inclusive to all’ isn’t a country, it’s chaos. That sounds like woke garbage from the West. The general is a wanker.
The modern Genital
Come to think of it...sounds like the Left.
The Mafia lived by a code of honor. Very strict too.
The first mass murderer of the 20th Century was probably Douglas Haig, AKA “Butcher of the Somme”, head of the British expeditionary forces during WWI.
These products of the public schools and of the privileged classes had nothing but disdain for the common man and didn’t care if they perished in the millions.
This British tradition continues.
Yeah, another moron. And after they’ve been SO GOOD the past few days.
Sir Nick is from the Marquis of Queensberry school of combat
That’s more complimentary to the Taliban, than the current administration is to our own citizens.
Another leftist douche bag in a uniform… Who would’ve thought it…
......Another leftist douche bag [WHO WAS] in a uniform… Who would’ve thought it…”....of course, our spineless SecDef, Ratheon Austin, seems to fit the bill here......
