The Germans Sure Aren't What They Used To Be!

In response to a NATO request, Germany is sending 6 Tornado jets to Afghanistan for reconnaisance operations. A leading German opposition party promptly petitioned the courts to try to stop the deployment. 57% of the German population wants all of Germany's troops redeployed home. The article says that soldiers morale in Afghanistan is low. I don't know why. The Germans won't leave their camps FOR ANY REASON! They certainly aren't conducting any combat operations, and, their's is one of the only camps that has beer. Whatever happened to gleefully marching into countries singing patriotic songs about the Fatherland, and promptly destroying all armed opposition?.....Guess the German Army has been emasculated....Earthtimes.org

I don't about emasculated, but the Germans do sound a little pathetic. I mean they could help out the situation there. NATO did agree to help out and Afhganistan, and I here they need the help. If Germany wants its troops to come home then they should do their job and secure the nation, you do not send troops home just because they don't like. Anyway, maybe they are just bored, give them work and it will probably raise their morale.
