Army chief: 'Public not convinced'
Updated on 08 November 2009
The public is not convinced that British troops fighting in Afghanistan can succeed, the head of the armed forces has admitted.
Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup said that much more needed to be done to show that the mission was "do-able".
In an interview with BBC1's The Andrew Marr Show, he acknowledged that progress was "painful, slow and halting", but he said that the troops doing the fighting believed that they were gaining ground.
