It' hard to understand why the Germans are so reluctant to get out there and fight a little bit of a war ever now and then. It's always gone so well for them in the past.... They have become so pacifist it's blood annoying...maybe they should just disband their army and be like Costa Rica; build more windmills and save the planet. Hard to believe; the same people that gave us the Waffen SS have become the new surrender monkeys...

Good thing we have the Frogs and Brits to take on this third rate Libyan army using 1960ies equipment, and a gang of baboon mercenaries as their front line troops; and now we can now look forward to the new-age Wehrmacht handing out care packages and sprinkling rose petals as they go. I doubt if the Monty Python script writers could have come up with anything this good..
