LONDON, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Veterans from across Europe hit back at U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion that they had stayed "a little off the front lines" in Afghanistan, saying on Friday that hundreds of their comrades had died fighting alongside American forces.
Senior politicians joined the criticism, with the British prime minister's office saying Trump had been "wrong to diminish the role of NATO troops" during two decades of war.
