It seems like America has forgotten who it's friends are. The UK has stood beside the US through thick and thin. It's request from the US was for troops or military aid, just to back them up.
This will have flow on effects in the future, the UK may not back the US when has very little support in it's actions. If the falklands does develop, the UK would be in it's perfect right to pull its troops out of Afganistan and not bother to return.
