Which begs the question, why are we in this alliance, when most of the other members failed to adhere to the spirit or letter of their treaty obligations.
Seems this alliance, like a lot of the deals we have with other countries, is a one-way burden.
Germany in particular has done next to nothing in Afghanistan, other than to send a few soldiers to stand on street corners in Kabul.
But the Brits have nearly 8,000 troops in Afghanistan, Canada 2500 and France is about to send 1000 to the most violent areas.
Most of the other NATO members have token forces in parts of the country where there is almost no violence.
