Germany Reorganizes the Warmacht in Afghanistan
Paying homage to their ancestry, Germany has decided to reform as small portion of the Warmacht and sent it to Afghanistan. The 600 troops, dressed in leftover Tom Cruise Valkyrie wardrobe will be armed with rebuilt World War II era equipment. They were even able to scrounge up a couple Panzer tanks from some dealer in California.
“Unfortunately the Panzers don’t actually fire,” said one German major, “but they do look good.”
Germany sent the troops after President Barack Obama requested more allies to take part in the mission to stabilize Afghanistan.
The deployment comes on the heels of the U.S. sending 20,000 real troops to the country.
