Cameron’s surprise visit to Kabul marked the end of combat operations for British soldiers in Afghanistan. “The promise I made in 2010 that Britain will be out of the country by 2014, that commitment has been met,” Cameron said. He added that there will be “a huge aid program that will continue” to support Afghan security forces.
