Closed 123 signatures

What the petition asks

Despite over £20 billion and 457 British soldiers lost and uncounted impacts on serving soldiers an veterans, Afghanistan has been captured by the Taliban and the UK has withdrawn. We need independent investigation into how and why this came about and how we can avoid similar happening in future.
The Government is the only one who can establish such an inquiry.
