the joke is that the skull that was photo'd and all the fuss is about lie all about in afghanistan, litteraly by the road. so no oppening graves or anything like that.

also, i heard that one poor KSK chap was kicked out of the army for having purchased an ak and putting in his locker (in afghanistan - not germany).

OTOH, some of those KSK guys have been driving around with the the old DAK emblem. it's a bit of a tounge-in-cheak joke that, but so very un-PC that it could very easily be misunderstood.
Whoah - let's hope for those guys that no so-called journalist working for BILD is roaming around internet forums such as this one - their next cover-story would be made up, and some guys would be kicked out of the army, damaging its image once more! DAK then stands for Deutsches Afghanistan Korps, huh? Well, you can't really blame the guys who invented this, blame the acronym, as well as the commanders who let them put their sign on the vehicles, if this is true! But in a politically-overcorrect Germany (+ Austria), that's all you need to have another army scandal, with all consequences!
