Germans Need to Support Their Troops
Philip Murphy, US Ambassador to Germany | February 12, 2010
German troops are doing great work in Afghanistan but are not getting the support they deserve. ++ Despite the ongoing debate in Germany over whether troops are actually needed, they are a key partner and complement to the ISAF and US missions in Afghanistan. ++ 2010 and 2011 will be critical years in the war as the strategy shifts to training and building partnerships with Afghan security. ++ “I believe that the achievements of the German military in Afghanistan in Germany are not sufficiently understood or appreciated.”
