Ah! Now yer talkin’.
This request was IMO a gift to Jung so he could score with the general population while the German Army slowly and sneakily starts to introduce fighting soldiers into the North of Afghanistan. There will only be ~250 soldiers for the North with a combat mandate, but to introduce them is a delicate issue anyways, because a majority of Germans does not believe in the Afghanistan mission, either because out of area missions are essentially against the Grundgesetz, or because there’s really nothing to get in Afghanistan for Germany, even if it should be a Democracy some day.
