Denmark's foreign policy aims focus on "increasing international security and stability, ensuring the greatest possible economic progress and prosperity and promoting the respect for democracy, human rights and good governance."
A moderate constitutional monarchy, Denmark boasts one of the highest standards of living in the world. Occupying slightly less land than Vermont and New Hampshire combined, the Scandinavian country has a population of about 5.5 million.
Combining military, humanitarian and civilian measures, as well as peacemaking efforts, Denmark's foreign policy aims, according to its ministry of foreign affairs, focus on "increasing international security and stability, ensuring the greatest possible economic progress and prosperity and promoting the respect for democracy, human rights and good governance."
Denmark has been active in the fight against terrorism since the 2001 attacks on the United States, serving from 2005 to 2006 as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, where it chaired the counterterrorism committee and helped form the peacebuilding commission.
Denmark continues to work actively with the European Union, NATO, the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, as well as with its Nordic neighbors, in order to strengthen those coalitions. Through NATO's U.N.-mandated International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), Denmark has sent troops to Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. Denmark was one of the first countries to join Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 and currently has about 750 soldiers in Afghanistan, concentrated in Helmand province.

In early 2011, Denmark's government agreed on a new two-year plan ("The Helmand Plan") that increases financial assistance to Afghanistan while easing out its 750 troops deployed there by 2014.
Afghanistan is the recipient of the second largest amount of Danish development assistance. Between 2002 and 2007, Denmark provided more than 1 billion Danish krones (approximately 150 million U.S. dollars) to Afghanistan, and it has greatly increased its contributions since. A total of 750 Danish soldiers are currently deployed in Afghanistan; 39 have lost their lives there since the war began.
In February 2011, Denmark's government agreed on a new two-year plan for its involvement that would increase its development assistance in Afghanistan to 500 million Danish krones (92.6 million U.S. dollars) annually. The new agreement (called the Helmand Plan, after the Afghan province where most Danish soldiers are stationed) is between Denmark's ruling coalition and opposition parties and focuses on security improvements and civilian and political development. It also provides for the handover of security responsibilities to the Afghan people in 2011. The plan is to be fully implemented by 2014. Over the course of the handover, Denmark will slowly pull out troops and increase training for Afghan police and other security personnel. After the handover, Denmark will continue to provide support in the form of development assistance.
Danish and British troops in Afghanistan are part of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), a coalition deployed under the authority of the U.N. Security Council in response to a call for support from the United States. ISAF currently has 132,000 troops in Afghanistan drawn from 28 NATO nations and 18 non-NATO nations. The ISAF makes up the majority of international troops in Afghanistan.

The United States is Denmark's fifth largest export market and its biggest outside of the European Union, and more than 260 Danish companies have subsidiaries in the United States.
Denmark has shown its support of counterterrorism efforts in the Middle East led by the United States, the European Union and the United Nations and implemented since the attacks on the United States in September 2001. Denmark has also contributed significantly to counterterrorism and peacemaking efforts in Afghanistan.
In March 2011, President Obama met with Danish Prime Minster Lars Løkke Rasmussen at the White House to discuss Afghanistan, the Middle East and energy issues. Obama praised Denmark's assistance in Afghanistan. "Denmark is not a large country, but proportional to its population it has made as significant an effort and made as many sacrifices as anybody in helping to stabilize Afghanistan," he said. "Denmark is a country that, in American terms, punches above its weight."
Løkke Rasmussen said he had recently visited Danish troops in Helmand province and became convinced that more needed to be done to wean the region from its dependence on the narcotics trade. Currently, opium-producing poppies support a significant part of the economy. He said Denmark had increased assistance for alternative crops in Afghanistan. He also reasserted Denmark's long-term commitment to helping the United States in Afghanistan.
According to the U.S. State Department, "The U.S., along with others in the international community, currently provides resources and expertise to Afghanistan in a variety of areas, including humanitarian relief and assistance, capacity-building, security needs, counter-narcotic programs and infrastructure projects."

Though it is not clearly captured in the film, the final, dizzying firefight appears to show the soldiers executing wounded Taliban fighters.
Whether the soldiers go over the line in killing wounded Taliban fighters is in the eye of the beholder, but the fact that the soldiers are seen laughing and bragging after the killing has left many Danes disturbed. The perception that Denmark is in Afghanistan with a humanitarian focus — building schools and protecting civilians — has been questioned. The most potent aspect of the men's solidarity in the face of criticism is their own accusation: How could anyone who was not there presume to judge them?
Before the premiere of Armadillo at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, respected Danish columnist Carsten Jensen wrote an early review of the film, stating that Armadillo was not just a film, but a film that would cause an earthquake in Danish national identity. This sparked great interest in the film from journalists and politicians and stirred up a heated debate for weeks, not only about possible war crimes, but about Danish engagement and what combat does to soldiers. Danish politicians have reacted to Armadillo along party lines. "They have used it to argue for their own opinions," producer Ronnie Fridthjof says. "The left wing says, 'Oh, this proves we need to get out of the war,' whereas the right wing says, 'Our boys are doing a really good job!'"
Filmmaker Janus Metz has stated that his intention was not to answer questions regarding Denmark's foreign policy through the film, but rather to depict the ambiguity of the situation and the way the war is hardening the troops.
The film led to an official inquiry by the military into the events surrounding the Taliban ambush and the alleged misconduct of the soldiers. All of the men have been exonerated.
