To say i find it absolutely inappropriate, would be an understatement, but it certainly is illustrative for the infantile German Zeitgeist. The photo shows the German defence minister and the German general commanding the evacuation in location at Kabul, at the welcome-back (this time they ran one!) after the last Airbus had returned to Germany.
No, they are not married, no friends, not family, and no lovers. They are general and his superior minister.
