In 2003 and 2005 I was in Afghanistan as a reporter, with Romanian troops.
In Kabul, a certain US Army major asked us :
"Are you from
#Romania? / We said : Yes sir / Major : Then write in your articles that for the first time in the history, the
#US platoons are under command of a foreign leader, a Romanian company. That is how much we trust them and appreciate the effort your country is doing for us".
President Trump said today at Davos that US got nothing from NATO allies, ever.
@POTUS : “NATO has treated the United States of America very unfairly. We never asked for anything. We never got anything“
Romania lost 27 soldiers during its nearly two-decade presence in Afghanistan, with two additional service members killed while performing duties outside the main mission, bringing the total to 29, with over 200 wounded in total from the conflict.
