All that is necessary to win the war in Afghanistan is for a medium sized NATO member to match the US or UK contribution to the war effort, shaming other NATO members into a decent contribution.
1000 Italians, less than 1/3 of 1% of the armed forces of a nation freed from fascism are to reinforce the 2700 Italians there already.
Only 4,520 Germans are in Afghanistan. There are 620,000 soldiers in the German armed forces. Less than 1% of those are in Afghanistan. They have orders not to engage the Taliban in the south and east of that nation.
About 1,473,000 Americans serve in the armed forces, of those soon a total of 98,000 will be there, which would bring us forces to about 6.6% up from 4.3%.
10,700 UK soldiers are in Afghanistan, out of a force of 429,500 - that's 2.49%.
There are 28 million Afghanis. There are at least 3.7 million soldiers (both active and reserve) in the EU.
For comparison, there are 90,000 soldiers in the armed forces of Romania.
