The commandos can pin one of those cartoons to each dead Talibum as a signature of sorts.

#7 The Danish special forces have been in Afghanistan before, as have those from most nations in the world that have special operations troops.

They have been there before, Shep UK. Then they went home for a while. Soon they will be back. A small lesson in cause and effect, although those receiving it likely won't have much time to reflect on... in this world anyway.

#12 #10 Exactly what are they protecting Greenland from ?

Maybe the US military knows.

In the 19th and 20th cent., Greenland was explored and mapped by numerous arctic explorers. In World War II, after the German occupation (1940) of Denmark, the United States invoked the Monroe Doctrine for Greenland and reached an agreement (1941) with the Danish minister at Washington that permitted the establishment of U.S. military bases and meteorological stations. A Danish-American agreement for the common defense of Greenland was signed in 1951, and U.S. bases were retained, notably at Thule. Thule is now the sole remaining U.S. military base in Greenland.

SIDEBAR: Please note that the heifer-prod laden headgear shown above exists only in operas and has never been found at any actual Scandinavian archaeological digs.

Yeah, but it's too good a story to check. It's so pervasive that Scandinavians use it regularly for tourist geegaws and PR materials.
