Other NATO Nations not shouldering Afghanistan burden.

Read today that there has been little progress in pursuading the other NATO countires involved to take on a greater share of the burden.

To be honest I am pretty disappointed at Germany and France, their troops are in relatively peacful areas and it has been left to UK, US, Canadian and Dutch troops to shoulder the burden and take the greatest losses.

I think France and Germany should step up to the plate and allow their troops to be more involved, ie be moved to back up UK troops in the South.

I don't know the full reasons for them not doing so but it does annoy me.
