First, that Danes are on 6 month tours and not 12 months(reduced to nine). Second, their lack of air support, artillery support, and rapid deployment reserves. I think this points to them having a less active sector since they seemed short on serious hardware. I was also surprised the mortar spotter would be told his directions took out a four year old girl.

This was very tightly edited compared to Restropo and I felt a good bit of it was scripted (dialog). It lacked the spontaneity of Restropo but still was interesting to see an "international" viewpoint on their approach to the Afghan mission. Whereas Restropo showed the young US guys acting as kids (dirt clod war) this was never in evidence--perhaps most of them were a few years older?
