Yes, the first NATOs war was the air campaign against Serbia and Montenegro in 1999.
Now that they fight on the ground, there are quarrels arising within NATO.
Americans, Canadians and Brits complain that it is they who carry the major part of the burden of war in Afghanistan. They want others too to participate more actively in their criminal enterprise. Hence the frictions. We'll see how the situation will develop.
European politicians, although all of them are servants of the Yanks, whether they be on the left or on the right of the political spectrum, are still somehow reluctant to send more troops, because wars are impopular at home. Evene this little portion of disobedience of servants towards the master causes master's ire. It is probable that that they will finally cave in.
