That's about 1300 more than they probably should commit, so I wouldn't scoff. |

The German military is the laughing stock of a Europe right now. The military of Luxembourg could probably push to Berlin within 2 days if they really wanted to. |

Generalstoner49: "The German military is the laughing stock of a Europe right now. The military of Luxembourg could probably push to Berlin within 2 days if they really wanted to." Lol. Seriously? That bad? I know nothing of Germany's modern military, so I'm finding this very interesting. Dan |

Foxweasel: "They're not what you'd call particularly military or aggressive" Wow! Incredible the difference that just a couple of generations of social re-engineering can make. Dan |
