So, the Germans (don't mention ze vor) aren't able to send troops to Afghanistan to support the NATO contingent, because they aren't allowed out after dark. What?

Does the German army suffer from collective night blindness, or are they frightened of being hit by a batter pudding (curse these German matches). Apparently, they aren't trained to fight at night. Right that's it then, as soon as it's dusk get the tanks rolling across the Ruhr, and its ours.

Still, if you were a German soldier, you wouldn't want to get involved in a war again anyway. No-one wants to go three for three.
