Germany to send 1,200 troops to ISIS fight

[westwall]

Big mistake. ......

Yep, not enough. It's time to take the gloves off, no ROE, just war. They'll learn

Right, because rolling in middle eastern countries, with mechanized armies, has worked so well over the last 200 years

T.E Lawrence did pretty well. The Iraqi's revolted against the Brits at the beginning of WWII and got crushed by a fairly small force. One armored brigade took Baghdad, so yeah, they work. It's the politicians that piss the victories away.

Should send 12,000 and France send 12,000 and England send 12,000....etc etc etc

Germany To Send 1200 Troops To ISIS Fight

German Defense Ministry spokesman Jens Flosdorff said today that the European nation plans on sending as many as 1,200 troops to the Middle East to support the Western coalition’s fight against ISIS.

That's awful nice of them.

Course, none of them will be carrying weapons......or do any of the fighting.

Of course they won't but they will still be on the ISIS hit list. Wonder if Berlin will be the next point of contact for jihadist killers?

Germany should go ahead and send armed troops because I'm sure ISIS won't care that what they are sending is support staff and troops. Germany will still be considered for attack.

If Germany were smart they would stay out of it, at least publicly.

Hope not. If they learn that means they survived.

Wrong. They should stay out of Syria and send back whoever is there to their country of origin. 80% of the "refugees" they took in are immigrants from Somalia, Uganda, Congo - S. Africa - Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan....and the other 20%? 70% of those are fighting age males that need to be sent back to Syria to fight their own war.

Oh good.

A "christian" pov.

This graphic is just SO you. You post endless miles of rhetoric, you watch and post hours and hours of videos but you're one of the least Christian people I've ever seen. You really know how to thump but you're full to the brim with hate for your god's creations.

Shame on you.

Like the man was saying today...you Libtards care for what feels good...not what does good.

how has our involvement since WW1... when we carved up the ME & gave them artificial borders- work out for them AND us? please 'splain that.

Worked like a charm in Desert Storm. You must have been asleep

If Desert Storm worked so well then why did 9/11 happen? God you're a dumb ****

He asked if mechanized war worked, I responded with Desert Storm.....dumb ****. Do try and stay on point

Don't try to avoid the question, just answer it. Own up to the things that you state or just shut up

You're creating a straw man, you interjected into something that has squat to do with the original comments. Desert Storm and a 9/11 connection is a reach, do you even know why Desert Storm happened? I don't think you do and are confusing it with the Iraq War. Two different events.

Iraq & Kuwait were going to go to battle with each other & we needed to be Kuwait's *****, so that oil would keep flowing to our benefit. And the lies that came out of that war were numerous & quite appealing to get our citizens' approval. There were no babies in incubators being taken outside & left to die... Jessica Lynch even said the way she was 'rescued' was a complete lie...

That's different, Kuwait is an ally, and asked us to come

I was referring to the Russians in Afghanistan

Us in Afghanistan

us in Iraq

We had Iraq won...until some community organizer phucked it up

That is really something else.

We can roll in and defeat any Army, but stabilizing a country hasn't happened since Japan and Germany

What's different about then and now? Oh yeah, we kept troops on the ground there until....well now....

US Asks Germany for More Military Help Against Islamic State
Dec 13, 2015 -- The United States has asked Germany for more military help in the fight against the Islamic State, a German magazine reported on Saturday, a week after parliament approved a plan to join the campaign in Syria.

Der Spiegel said US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter had sent a letter asking for a bigger military contribution from Berlin. Germany's military mission currently includes six Tornado reconnaissance jets, a frigate to protect the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, refueling aircraft and up to 1,200 troops. The deployment is a direct response to a French appeal for solidarity after militant attacks in Paris killed 130 people. Germany does not plan to carry out air strikes in Syria.

A German Defense Ministry spokesman confirmed a letter had been received from the United States and its content was under consideration, giving no further details. Germany has, over the last two years, shown a growing readiness to commit troops to foreign missions. Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen said last week Germany may need bigger armed forces to cope with the more assertive role. She said an analysis into staffing and the organization of combat forces would report in a couple of months on whether personnel levels were appropriate.

More than 3,000 personnel are currently deployed overseas and the Syria mission will raise that by up to 1,200. Von der Leyen also wants to send 650 troops to Mali to help the French campaign against Islamist militants there. Last year, Germany started arming Iraqi Kurds fighting the Islamic State.

Merkel dismisses U.S. request for more military help against Islamic State
Sun Dec 13, 2015 - Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday brushed off what a Germany magazine said was a request from the United States to provide more military help in the fight against Islamic State.

"I believe Germany is fulfilling its part and we don't need to talk about new issues related to this question at the moment," Merkel told the ZDF broadcaster when asked about the Der Spiegel magazine report of the U.S. request. Der Spiegel reported on Saturday that U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter had sent a letter asking for a bigger military contribution from Germany, a week after parliament approved a plan to join the campaign in Syria. A German Defense Ministry spokesman confirmed a letter had been received from the United States and its content was under consideration, giving no further details.

Der Spiegel said the letter did not make specific demands and was similar to requests sent to other U.S. partners. Germany's mission includes six Tornado reconnaissance jets, a frigate to protect the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, refueling aircraft and up to 1,200 troops. The deployment is a direct response to a French appeal for solidarity after militant attacks in Paris killed 130 people. Germany does not plan to carry out air strikes in Syria.
