German army to rescue beer trapped in Afghanistan
The German army must evacuate nearly 6,000 gallons of beer as part of its withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Troops at the German camp of Mazar-e-Sharif accumulated 65,000 unopened cans of beer, in addition to various other amounts of wine and spirits, the Defense Ministry said Monday.
In the later stages of the withdrawal, high command put a ban on troops drinking. Normal protocols allow for each soldier to have two cold ones per day, so the alcohol supply piled up. The soldiers were not allowed to sell the alcohol to local civilians due to local religious rules, so the military must evacuate all of it.
