A-Ha...so this explains how the Hun has been emasculated from panzering stormtrooper to BMW driving organic food eating, fashion designers who stay in camp in Afghanistan.

What was this thing about "malicious comments"?
But seriously, the Germans just have learnt their lesson taught by the yanks and British after WW II very well. They have learnt that "dulce et decorum est pro patriam mori" is one of the daftest things in the world. And for whom should they die in Afghanistan anyway? Crooked local bureaucrats and clan chiefs supplying the world's drug markets? A crooked president wearing flashy cloaks but with less power than the mayor of Kabul?
Hence, as long as there are enough snivelling British tealeafs or American rednecks prepared to die for HM or Uncle/Auntie (we should be politically correct) Sam why should the Germans stop them? Anyway, the Yanks got us into this mess (the same goes for the Iraq) so they jolly well have to get us out!

Food scares can normally be safely ignored, but this one is deeply troubling.
