I'm sorry. My last tour of duty in the Army was three years in a NATO unit. It was three years that couldn't end quick enough and made me very eager to get out of the military altogether. All due to the fact that none of my commanders during those years were American and cared not a single bit about American interests. I didn't think very much of it beforehand, but since that time I a vehemently opposed to anyone other than American officers commanding American soldiers.
Very well said. My sentiments, exactly.

Last time I checked, The US Constitution did not apply to Afghanistan.
I absolutely agree.
"I wonder if this British general took an oath to uphold and defend the United States Constitution like the soldiers he will be commanding did."
As the United States Constitution has no possible influence or impact on the mission being undertaken, I wonder what the relevance of this is? British forces have operated on Nato operations under an American commander, there is no valid reason at all why the reverse shouldn't happen.
Yeah - most countries feel that way about aliens commanding their troops. That's why forces like NATO which harness allies and so forth are tricky to get right...why should the Brits etc surrender their forces to US control if the favour is never returned?
