The fact is, our military contribution, despite being bigger than other countries, was fairly pathetic. We were repeatedly humiliated, first in Iraq, where we bragged about what a superior job we were doing in Basra compared to the Americans in Baghdad, with no Iraqi resistance or insurgency, until the Americans realized that the reason there were no attacks against British troops, is that the Iraqis had realized we were completely useless and took control of the city under our noses, waving at our soldiers as their troops went around the city murdering their opponents and sieizing control. Then the US Marines had to go in while we hid in our bases and basically conquer the city all over again. The same thing happened in Helmand province, where the US conquered it, put us in charge of the occupation, then eventually realized we'd let the Taliban take over again and had to reconquer it all over again.
