On one hand I'm glad the Bundswehr's no Wehrmacht (esp no Waffen-SS) in respect to the underlying reason NATO was created in the first place (to keep the Jerries under wraps). But on the other hand, the general unprofessionalness (rampant drunkenness, slovenly appearance, etc) and risk aversion of the Germans may well compromise NATOs mission in Afghanistan. <br /><br />In all the Europeans I've talked to I am continually amazed at the complete lack of gonads they have. Perhaps the legacy of the 20th Century (World Wars I & II) has left them completely unable to come to grips with the use of military force...? But whatever the reason, they'd better snap to because their own future may rely on how well they defend their own culture.El Goyitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08794867770198842232noreply@blogger.com
