WASHINGTON -- The United States won't be sending more combat troops to Afghanistan despite Canada's demand for NATO reinforcements as a condition for staying in the battle, a U.S. Defence Department spokesman said Tuesday.

    Why should the US, Canada and the UK send all the Troops to Afghanistan, what about the rest of NATO?

    My theory is that these NATO counties are in europe and due to their enlightened immigration policies, they seek to maintain their soldiers at home to deal with their domestic taliban.

    There are other countries that send troops, and helped out. I think the Dutch are in it, germany, some other countries I forgot. Germany helped out in a way, even though they are in safe zones and don't carry out a combat role. They sent Canada some of there best tanks. IMO best tanks in the world. Very well armored. They gave it to us free of charge, and won't have to pay anything back, except sending the tank back after we are done. Though if any get destroyed, then we have to repay back the money for that tank(s).

    Still, those tanks will make greater use then the tanks we were currently using. We also bought a lot of Leopard 2's from somebody, should start having a great armor punch now.

    I think the Leopard 2 deal was with the Dutch.. and they have been in the fighting as well.


    Its the French, Germans and Italians who need to step up for this..

    Way to fumble the ball, George. Guess that's why you were a cheerleader at Yale and not on the team.
