UK Troops in Afghanistan 'to come under US command'

The UK shouldnt allow their troops to be under US command .
Jonathan Beale makes a good point by saying, "the recent influx of American forces meant there were now too many troops in too large a geographical area for just one command." That being said the US shouldnt have to command the troops of another country because they already have more then enough things to deal with when it comes to the US troops. No offense to the US but they tend to bud into situations and take control which has caused some problems in the past so commanding UK troops could possibly weaken their relationship. This issue could be simply solved if the UK just commanded their own 10,000 troops in Afghanistan. Something for the UK to think about is if the US commands their troops then they'll get the credit for any achievments.
