Happy Hour
(Fox News) — The German military — which has been accused of not wanting to fight the Taliban — apparently drinks too much and is too fat to get the job done anyway.
The London Times quotes from the government report stating that German forces in Afghanistan consumed 1.7 million pints of beer and 90,000 bottles of wine last year.
About 900,000 pints of beer were shipped to those German troops during the first six months of this year. Soldiers in some locations are permitted two cans a day. In contrast, alcohol consumption is banned for U.S. and British forces there.
German Armed Forces Parliamentary Commissioner Reinhold Robbe says, "the soldiers are too fat, exercise too little and take little care of their diet."
And German Commander General Hans-Christoph Ammon describes the main German mission of training Afghan police — as "a miserable failure."
