German youth have been spoiled rotten, don't expect much fight out of them until they can find some character again. World Champions at soccer, so what? What will they do when the time comes to defend their country or live up to NATO obligations? They seem to think the peace they have experienced since WWII cost nothing and is something taken for granted.
Wake up, Germany!
Fight whom?
Germany is still emasculated by WWII. Losing a whole generation of alpha males, and thus unable to procreate, hurts. Furthermore, Hitler is still fresh on the world’s collective mind. Too many people are still around who were around during that time, and way too many of their first-generation spawn, are still alive. Give it enough time, and mentioning Hitler will inspire as much passionate hate as Genghis Khan’s name does today, and then Germany will be free.
“Generations after World War II, is Germany ready to fight again?” — Natürlich! and same with one or three Europeans at present; other Europeans will join in, in time. USA will not be faring well in the coming years, unfortunately.
I’m half German. My mother immigrated to the US after the war. German nationalism will always exist. They build the finest cars in the World IMHO, they could build a first class army in only a few years and they still despise Russia.
