1. I wish NATO would just get the fuck outta that country, cause they are not wining

the hearts and minds of anybody. It's a suicide mission to be there for no gain what so ever.

2. Why is it when it is US troops

it mentions the US. Everyone else they always just say NATO and not their nationality, you know the country that they swore allegiance to and the uniform they wear?
In this one, the nationalities has not been released so I can get it on this one. That said:
Canadian troops wear Canadian uniforms, with Canadian families
German troops wear German uniforms, with German families
Dutch troops wear Dutch uniforms, with Dutch families
French troops wear French uniforms, with French (OK, not the foreign legion enlisted members) families

Just a pet peeve I developed after working with Air Force people from Canada, France, UK, and non NATO places.
