Small correction: should say just "NATO" not "US and NATO". US is part of NATO isn't it? I'm tired of Canadian and other NATO countries getting the shit end of the stick. The US didn't start to pull its weight until this year because they were side-tracked by Iraq...

i think its referring to the command structure rather than making a political statement. if the US troops are operating apart from NATO command then they should be referenced that way

They're operating as part of NATO, but this NATO mission just happens to be led by a US commander.

Canadian troops go on missions alone too, and I assume the same is true of the other NATO members.
