#1 US, UK, Canada, Romania, Netherlands (?) - who's the 6th one? Australia? Didn't the fwench special forces actually participate in festivities there over the last 5 years?

#2 Verlaine, it's the Danes. They've been there in combat since very early in the campaign. I don't know how many there are, but they pull their weight. France and Germany are in the north, where it's relatively safe. The Aussies are not a part of NATO.

#3 The Aussies are always punching above their weight in Southwest and Southeast Asia, and they are not part of NATO. I am surprised that the Albanians and Hungarians are not in combat roles in Afghanistan; although that may be more to economics on their part, than lack of will.

Makes me damn proud to be half Danish and ALL American. I might even have to fetch up a bottle of Tuborg from the cellar for tonight!
