So by that logic, they can use us as a mercenary force whenever they want? They have no planes for their carrier so are asking for USMC squadrons. And now this, twice.
Shirkers. It isn’t up to NATO (USA) to do things just because they wont. And why us? Howzabout some Germans? Some Italians? Some Spaniards? Their beloved Turks?
You know, I don’t agree with the extent of our defence cuts, but I think the US owes us some credit by us going to war in Afghanistan following the 9-11 attacks, as well as the Iraq war, which we had no obligation to get involved in at all and has cost us dearly in terms of blood and treasure.
