A WAR OF WORDS Brit fury as US graffiti mocks 'trash' marines

A POISONOUS war of words has broken out between US and British troops in Afghanistan.

Hundreds of obscenities on the walls of portaloos at Bagram airbase sneer at the failure by "Euro trash" marines to capture or kill al-Qaeda, and rubbish Britain and the Royal Family.

And the marines come in for more criticism of their "disappointing" performance in the US forces magazine Stars and Stripes.

British troopers have hit back with their own graffiti, mocking that their allies are only good for guarding the loos.
