#1 It's interesting to know that people in Germany don't ask for troops being recalled. Most people say: "We won't let Al-Qaeda dictate where we send our troops to help."
Also the Bundeswehr still insists on open vehicles. "You can't build up trust with the locals sitting in tanks." I like that attitude although it might cost us more lives.

#2 Attacking German soldiers. I wonder if they knew they were German. Given the way things have fallen out, that's about the stupidest thing they could have done. (except attack French troops) Do these people have a CAUSE or do they just relish the "us against the whole world" thing?

#3 Doesn't matter to them that they were Germans. Or Americans, Brits, Italians, Poles, whatever.They were infidels and that's what counts with these psychos. They want to kill us all.
