It’s like this for ages and has increased a lot since 9/11.
After a failed operation (afaik intelligence wise) German KSK specops and US SpecOps(Seals if I remember correctly) almost got into a fist fight.
The reason?
The Germans were spotted by a shepherd who was unrelated to the Taliban but could in theory reveal the operation. The Germans were unable to capture him in time due to terrain so they retreated.
The US SpecOps were extremely angry and a brawl almost broke out as they basically told the German they should have simply killed the unarmed shepherd.
Which would have meant a potential murder trial for any German soldier back home.
Thanks for sharing the story. Sure feels racist that the countries that US special forces are nonchalant about murdering innocent civilians in seem to all be non-white.
