While I appreciate the support from the New Zealand engineers in Iraq.. I believe that they number fewer than 100 soldiers in total..

And they have 100 in Afghanistan..

Not exactly staggering quantities of troops..

But considering that New Zealand only has an army of 4,400, I guess it's a substantial percentage of total force.

Thanks!!

Hawk

Hi Maurice Winn; Re: "But she said despite calls from peace groups to withdraw Kiwi troops and the ongoing high security risks that existed in Iraq, she would not be bringing New Zealand military serving there home early."

Though most Americans don't know it, New Zealand also sent troops to Vietnam:
