#1 The Germans are worthless and won't go to Kabul as someone might actually shoot at them and that is verboten.

#3 IMHO his service is to be applauded, especially as he's supposedly bucked effort to hide him in the logistics chain and demanded frontline duty

#5 Actually, the present government in India has made it clear that they want nothing to do with the international effort in Afghanistan, at least militarily. They are willing to permit NGOs to operate there, take contracts for road-building and transportation setup, and the like; just no military or paramilitary actions, outside that required to secure their borders.
