"German Special Forces" not allowed to use lethal force?

Is that what makes them "special"?

Atheling,

I thought the same thing. Also, why do they bother carrying guns? To look cool?....

I wonder if they are even aloud to protect themselves from enemy fire or if they're just supposed to take one for the team! The sad thing is that our military will probably have the same rules of engagement before to long.

The best fighting you'll see Germany doing these days is on the History Channel.
