It is just that pliticians still abuse WW2 to accept the risks from such a mission while wishing to take the benefits oin reputaiton from it, and if there are no benefits, then at least to avoid open conflict with the hegemon demanding their participation by appeasing him with obedience - and still evading the risks.

I made my psition on this and Afghnaistan in general, clear on several occaisons, so I do not go into that again. just the event itself that I started with, I wish to report. really, it is GROTESQUE.

The Finns have similar ROE, they just overlook it if they feel threatened.
