Mr. Declan Power:

It is one of the things the Deputy might be aware of herself from her own service. The good doctor was talking about Afghanistan. Every nation has caveats that they will list in their deployments. Various troops from paid-up NATO nations took part in the Afghanistan mission. They had very strict requirements about what their troops would or would not do. The Swedes and the Germans did not serve outside Kabul, at least for a long time. That is not often realised. They did not have a triple lock but they had very strict requirements about what their troops would or would not do.
