Germans Committed to Afghanistan
This article isn't entirely politically correct, or entirely serious...
I was quite stunned to see that Germany is still committed to the peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan, years after the war to oust the Taliban. The real good news is that they will be increasing the contingent of 220 soldiers that they will have policing the countryside. Perhaps France could commit about 200 troops as well, and then they can play a good game of Soccer... and even have a crowd large enough to start a riot when either team loses.
Seriously... 220 troops from a country that started two world wars and massacred more than six million of their own Jewish people in the early half of the 20th century. What happened to their guts??
More people live in my apartment complex than they have committed to all of Afghanistan for peacekeeping!! Why bother?? They could ship them all home on one Boeing 767. I doubt 220 troops could even secure the campus I'm living on! Come on Germany, get serious already. :-? Sure, we don't see eye to eye on Iraq, but honestly, you can do better than send a couple hundred guys to Afghanistan because you don't like the leadership here in the United States.
