Major General Leif Sverre Rosén, the commandor for the Norwegian army's medical battalion, has resigned under a dark cloud. He recently complained that Norwegian combat troops that are part of ISAF in Afghanistan have inadequate medical support, to the point that he would not be comfortable letting any of his children serve there. So far, three Norwegian troops have been killed in action, and Rosén has asked for - among other things - a dedicated surgical team and helicopter for evacuation. The government has not been receptive to this, and the minister of defense is being criticized.
