Two Romanian soldiers killed in Afghan insider attack

[Fantastical]

[quote]Gunmen wearing Afghan military uniforms shot dead two Romanian soldiers in the country's south Saturday, officials said, in the first insider attack on foreign troops since the Taliban launched their spring offensive last month.

The insurgents have so far not claimed responsibility for the attack in Kandahar province, which highlights long-simmering tensions between Afghan and foreign forces.

"Two Resolute Support (NATO) service members died this morning when two individuals wearing Afghan (security) uniforms opened fire... in southern Afghanistan," the military coalition said.

A third Romanian soldier was left wounded in the incident and transferred to a hospital in Germany, the ministry said in its statement.[/quote]

We expect help if Russia starts doing shit around here, so we'll suck dick and help around. We've sent thousands of troops in Afghanistan and Iraq so yeah, we're somewhere in the top 5-10

Same reason Poland was so big in Iraq, mutual assistance from NATO in the near future.
