A highly decorated British Army officer said he is “absolutely shocked” at President Joe Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal, rendering the 20-year war “a total waste.”
“6,500 people died, including 3,000 deaths at Twin Towers, and we didn’t achieve a single thing,” said retired Special Operations Staff Sgt. Trevor Coult, who has been feted by both the queen and President George W. Bush.
“He destroyed 20 years’ work in less than 24 hours.”
Coult served for 21 years in Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, where he was involved in 178 enemy engagements and survived three bomb blasts. The queen awarded him one of the United Kingdom’s highest honors, the military cross, for saving allied lives during an ambush. Bush also awarded him a presidential citation during a White House dinner.
“Biden is the most incompetent president in the history of the United States,” Coult told the Washington Examiner. “He has befriended terrorists. The White House is not a friend to the West. It’s a danger while he is president.”
A DISTINGUISHED CAREER
Trevor Coult was raised in Belfast during the troubles, his mother and father had both served in the Military so naturally it was an easy decision to enlist in the Military.
During his 20 year service he remarkably completed 10 Operational deployments.
From a team Commander in N. Ireland to a section Commander during the Iraq invasion 2003 and 4 more deployments to Afghanistan.
He was awarded a Military Cross for his actions during a complex ambush involving a suicide bomber and a machine gun position in Baghdad.
Trevor was involved in 178 engagements with enemy forces during his time on the front line and survived 3 IED explosions.
Today Trevor is one of the strongest voices in the Veterans community and champion’s mental health.
In 2019 he was voted as one of the most influential people in the military community by “Pathfinder Magazine”.
Coult said he has spoken to numerous British generals and Special Operations officers about Biden, and they all agree that no one can understand his logic.
“We believe Biden is more of a threat to the West than the Taliban ever was. Without a shadow of a doubt. He betrayed us,” Coult said.
These comments come after former British prime minister Tony Blair said Europe and NATO should prepare to act when the U.S. is unwilling.
“For me, one of the most alarming developments of recent times has been the sense that the West lacks the capacity to formulate strategy,” Blair said. “That its short-term political imperatives have simply squeezed the space for long-term thinking.”
Blair is just one of several British politicians who have criticized Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, spurred on by reports that calls to the White House by Prime Minister Boris were ignored for 36 hours during the initial chaos. The U.K. Parliament held Biden in contempt.
