nbc's meagan fitzgerald is in london. what's the feeling there among the u.s.'s closest allies on afghanistan? >> i can tell you a lot of disappointment and frustration. keep in mind, the uk sent more than 100,000 troops into afghanistan to fight alongside the americans. of course, the americans experiencing more casualties with more than 2400 troops losing their lives, but the brits lost hundreds of their own. so this is incredibly personal. you know, these men and women spending years trying to build up the afghan government, trying to train the afghan soldiers to be able to fight and defend their own land on their own one day. so of course, seeing, for example, just within the last week, seeing how in many instances, these soldiers gave up the fight before even trying to fight back against the taliban, was very difficult for veterans to see, and you hear them speaking out about that here in the uk as well as the united states. and most certainly, that is how the taliban has managed to steamroll through, taking control of practically the entire country of afghanistan, just yesterday, of cour
