How pathetic is the German Military
From Dhimmi Watch
A TOP Taliban commander in Afghanistan with links to the killers of several British Army soldiers has escaped from German special forces because they were not authorised to kill him.The fiasco highlights the absurd role played by the German military, which is known to other combat nations as “the bridge builders”, because Berlin will not let them fire shots in any situation other than self-defence.
German special forces had an important Taliban commander in their sights in Afghanistan. But he escaped because the Germans were not authorized to use lethal force….

This is ludicrous. I do not blame the military or the German government for the standards set forth in their ROE. Too many rules by the international community have been placed on the German military because of WW1 and WW2. The war on terrorism does not just place threats on the U.S and Britain but the whole western world. I would like to know that any of my brothers in arms are given the same ROE’s when fighting these terrorists’ bastards. I NOTICED THAT I AM THE FIRST TO COMMENT ON THIS MATTER.
