Wilhelm Agrell: f22 wallpaper A war here and now | Rural protection will
The last few days I have, among other things, dedicated to get through Wilhelm Agrell's book A war here and now dealing with the run-up to the outcome of Sweden's participation in the war in Afghanistan. The book is from what I can judge a thorough review of the game in this respect, although Agrell himself remarks that a lot of the key documents behind the political process that led to the Swedish participation is classified to this day.
When we were elected into parliament in 2010 so this was one of the issues we had to deal with the very first area of defense. Towards the end of the book begins, therefore, I recognize some reasoning and factual information f22 wallpaper which is close to what I myself have taken part in, and with my work on these issues. Nonetheless, I think the book is valuable for getting a deeper insight into how the discussions went in connection with the operation.
Above all, I also think you learn a lot about the effects of membership in the Atlantic Alliance would get for Sweden. When Agrell discuss Norway's participation in OEF (which admittedly is not ISAF, but still operates in Afghanistan), he writes: f22 wallpaper
In Norway, these propositions were taken very seriously. The country was bound by the NATO Charter's Article 5, but also the security policy depends on the collective security guarantee f22 wallpaper worked. A Norwegian force contributions to OEF were therefore considered f22 wallpaper as an investment in a half century of reinsurance policies from the Protecting Power USA.
In other contexts, I have of course pointed out that Swedish membership in the Atlantic Alliance would get exactly this result. Whether you like it or not that would be more or less forced to participate in the foreign policy decisions and military operations f22 wallpaper as the dominant pact member of the United States decide. The formal freedom that one has in these situations is not worth much if you are exposed to so much pressure to attend to in reality have no choice. f22 wallpaper In Denmark, for example:
... Congratulated the Prime Minister of the American ambassador Copenhagen which featured a list of the forces that the Americans wanted versed in Afghanistan. [...] Despite a series of critical questions during the debate [in the Folketing, my note.] Left the government f22 wallpaper no further information about what data it was thought that the Danish troops would solve.
So, the Americans marching thus up to the Danish f22 wallpaper Prime Minister and the more or less commands which Danish troops to be ordered, and the elected f22 wallpaper Assembly's role is to be presented as reality is already taken. And how was it for Sweden?
The bill [to Parliament, my note.], 20 December 2001, the scanty and the military base was referred to was (and still is) confidential. An unanswered question is thus whether Sweden received U.S. requests for contributions to OEF similar to that reported from the Danish and Norwegian f22 wallpaper sides.
There seem to have been as Agrell himself f22 wallpaper says that the members of the pact lined up on this effort is not solely or even primarily to be shared Americans' goals for Afghanistan's development, but because they saw it as important to stop:
My experience is that it is the way it has been like for Sweden. f22 wallpaper Participation in this effort has basically gone out to take us into an increasingly integrated cooperation with the Atlantic Alliance without formally sign the application to full alliance participation: f22 wallpaper
International operations accounted for more clearly a kind of security policy lever with which a functional cooperation with NATO gradually established without formal Swedish nonalignment needed to be addressed to the open-label trial.
The mission in Afghanistan was initially lined by miscalculations, both from Swedish to American side. For the Swedish part wanted man while not realizing what it was kind of situation that placed the Swedish f22 wallpaper soldiers in, among other things, could lead to the Swedish soldiers did not get the best equipment that was possible because this maybe could "scare" people in theater:
Well, I do not know, as we took our soldiers' f22 wallpaper safety seriously and was ready to face any possible f22 wallpaper attacks on our forces firmly? It boggles the face of this. Idiots are obviously also at general level. Fortunately, this is changing, and they were forced to carry armored vehicles - but without recognizing that participation until then had been based on pure joy calculations.
After the Taliban government in 2001, we tried the various private militias install itself as government troops through a simple uniform of bytes, which was a problem that has not yet fully succeeded in overcoming. Even worse is the situation in the Afghan police ANP, which basically seems to have failed entirely f22 wallpaper to sue the creek. In some places it appears to be clean band of robbers who have taken on the p
