UK troops in Afghanistan get Â£1 each to celebrate Christmas
British troops deployed to Afghanistan received just Â£1 (â¹85) each to celebrate Christmas, reports said. "They haven't even sent us enough for a coffee. The Americans send in more money to feed the stray cats on their compound," a British soldier said. US troops reportedly received Christmas trees, decorations, turkeys, gifts, and a copy of the new Star Wars film.
