Budget Problems
I'm right now doing sentry duty for the Swedish force being sent off to Chad. But budget problems means that the forces only can be there for 4-6 months, which means that they hardly will be able to set up camp, nor do any real productive work in the area during the proposed time frame.
Arrrgh!
I don't (and nobody does) know how many millions this will cost the Swedish taxpayers, but it will probably be in the ten figure area.
Sigh! When will they learn?
Go in with full force and full financial backing- or don't go at all!

Yes, Pela. You have the right answer. Governments have reasons for not having them, usually payoffs under the table or personal involvement in contracts. We need to stop this corporate and political welfare, no matter which country we're in.
When we go to war, the civilians should set the objectives and step back to let the military carry them out. Civilians in the above sense should include us - and before troops are committed.
