Donald Trump has claimed NATO troops stayed "a little off the front lines" in Afghanistan. It's hard to know whether he's ignorant or just doesn't really care.

Dear BBC News, the whole idea of changing the name to "resident doctors" was to stop calling them "junior doctors" because when you talked about "junior doctors" people thought you meant "trainee doctors". They're not trainees, they're fully qualified.
