A first: NATO troops helping out in the US
« on: October 13, 2001, 04:25:00 AM »
First time it's ever happened; foreign military aiding the US over US soil.

Essentially, some NATO AWACS plane taking over the duties of US AWACS so they can be sent to directly assist the war against....the Taliban, I gather.

Funny thing: Denmark actually is in  :D. One Danish AWACS plane left a while back. How about that? Might not be a longboat, but maybe those'll come.

Heh <S!> hangtime  :D

First time Denmark has had an opportunity to do so military stuff other than peacekeeping for a long time. Feels good to at least do *something*.

Best of luck my American friends.
