    Snafu in Afghanistan: German Troops Bemoan 'Critical' Deficits in Training and Equipment - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International

    The machine guns on top of "Dingo" armored vehicles can only be used to shoot "in the direction in which the vehicle is driving" -- and only long as the soldier operating it is strapped into the seat, which he is obliged to do under the rules governing the peacekeeping operation in Afghanistan. As a result, it's impossible to engage enemies attacking "Dingos" from the side or from behind
    Unbelievable

    Here are also a story about 2 Rifles in FOB Inkerman with lot of good photos
