Anyway, as in Germany the beginning of the carnival season will be celebrated, I turn my back on the crazy, not in the least funny people and will keep up with my Anglophone flisters and salute our veterans of the war in Afghanistan, deployments to Kosovo, Bosnia, Djibouti, Uganda, Lebanon and wherever else German Armed Forces soldiers, sailors and airmen are currently stationed and often even risking their lives. I am glad that they have finally become recognized as veterans a few months ago when they were called that by the german Secretary of Defense, Thomas de Maiziere. I am hoping that one day they will receive the attention and recognition that veterans in other countries receive and that they deserve as well from the German public.
