Estonia emerges from Soviet rule to fight in Afghanistan
In early April, NATO allies decided to contribute 5,000 additional short-term troops to the war effort in Afghanistan, some to help provide security for the country's
upcoming elections and others to help train the Afghan army.
The small eastern European nation of Estonia, population 1.3 million,
has sent troops to Afghanistan, just as it did in Iraq.
Worldfocus correspondent Daljit Dhaliwal, producers Sally Garner and Ara Ayer
report on Estonia's military after Soviet occupation and its alliance with the U.S. in Afghanistan.
