The German Bundestag today decided to join the fight against IS. Bending reality into a pretzel, they claim we don't actually kill people because we only send recon planes. I really hope that is only PR and not actually what our politicians think...

    I don't think there is any phobia concerning German military operations anymore. The world got over it during the Kosovo conflict in the late 90s. And no, I don't have a solution - I'm merely sure that dropping more bombs will do a lot of harm with actually no benefit at all. The worst thing is that our politicians seem to have no plan or strategy whatsoever.

    Yeah, but we are not dropping bombs, we are deliviering reconasaince via aircameras. At best this will reduce the number of innocent death, because our data from the jets will help to indendify where their troops, defense and weapon depots are, so that the kurdish troops that get supplyed by us can drive Daesh back

    Thats actually a good point, I hadn't looked at it that way. Perhaps our Recon will actually do some genuine good.
