The Americans are doing the work, the Germans are looking things over and conferring.
His article from yesterday is here:
Free Republic....US-Navy Flying Aid, German Army Still Looking Things Over"
I'm not a European, and I also do know that articles don't feed refugees.
Articles that praise our military are rare, however, especially from Europe and, when there is a European reporter who rides with our guys who has the b*lls to put his praise of them in print, I'm going to translate it if I can.

Amen, longjack dude. And thanks!
I'm just asking questions like lots of people should be asking questions. The German soldiers in the article (along with others) are heroic, but the EU needs to be very ashamed of itself for being such poor world citizens. I have heard so many EUrophiles bragging that the EU economy is larger than the United States' and yet they are only able to muster an awkward belly-flop when called to saving these people's lives. This is not a controversial issue like Iraq and if the Europeans think they are ready for prime-time on the world stage, they are sadly mistaken.
Think about it, the US, Australia, and Japan all have committments in Iraq and are somehow able to undertake a major, international relief mission. Australia is tiny compared to the EU, and yet these amazing people stand heads and shoulders above their socialist Euro-counterparts in so many ways! Japan has been a true friend of America and a rock-steady ally. Both countries have known US soldiers in different ways. They remember our historic ties, while too many of the Europeans do not. Those folks should be ashamed.
God bless the US military.
