I'm not sure but I do know they were in part trained by the SAS.
That would make them pretty good.
The German govt allows them to operate?
The Germans have been pussies since 1945.

I think KSK has done time in Afghanistan. The German military is neutered by their officers and politicians. My few experiences with them have been very negative. If you were to compare post-WWII stereotypes the French are over here kicking ass while the Germans sit in Kunduz and allow the TB to become a relevant force again in a portion of the country that was beyond calm. They took the north because they knew they wouldn't see combat up there and now the US is being forced to build up troops in the region because our "allies" in the north are limp like coke dick.

I read an article about them a while ago..apparently they very rarely left their compound or FOB... and got withdrawn.
But.., thats not to say they are not good at what they do.. I would imagine that it was more of a political decision more than a military one not to actively engage the TB.
I jumped with the KSK a couple of weeks ago to get my wings. They seemed pretty professional, but I haven't seen them in action.
I don't doubt the fighting men are GTG, it seems their leadership is the problem.
