Never saw anything like that 35 years ago...guess that’s what happens when you think the Russian bear would no longer like to eat you.
They aren’t ready to defend their country, but at least they can play Quidditch.
“History”doesn’t”Repeat Itself”;We”Repeat History”because we REFUSE to LEARN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somehow I still think they would be able to overrun Belgium and northern France in record time.
“the Pre-WWII army using a wood carving of a machine gun during “
I think the American Pickers found one of those last season.
You guys don’t get it. There are Muslims to be fed and housed.
If this news gets around, some 8 year old kid is going to draw a picture of a broom and get expelled for creating a hostile school environment.
To all: Please name the politicians who voted to lower the Defense Budget before the Korean War to such a low level that the American Task Force at the start of the Korean War had anti-tank weapons that just bounced off the front of the North Korean tanks?
Anybody? Nope. That’s why. We don’t hold the politicians responsible for their behavior. They should have rounded-up every politician who voted to cut the Defense Budget so low before the Korean War, and sent them all to the front lines.
It’s always “Joe” who pays the price with his blood and limbs and life for the politicians neglect.
Looks like this:
Nothing has changed, the US IS NATO.
Lots of stories over the last year of just how unprepared, for anything, Euro militaries are.
The term “Paper Tiger” comes to mind.
I wonder if ISIS and Russia have such problems?
The German Army still scares me! heh
Maybe the Germans are hoping that if the Russians invade, they’ll rape the women with broomsticks instead of like they did during the end of WWII, so they’ll be less half-Russian babies.
What do you expect of socialist, liberal Euroweenies?
[staccato eh-eh-eh-eh sound]
“I got you! You’re dead!”
“No I’m not!”
Now that the Soviet Union is returning, the West is rethinking it’s war status.
Defense Minister says German armed forces will act under new strategy from 2016, marking a formal end to its post-WWII pacifist policy.”
Germany’s armed forces will come under a new security and defense strategy from 2016, the German government has announced.
Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen announced in Berlin on Tuesday that Germany, which has been traditionally hesitant in taking part in international military operations mainly because of its Nazi past, would act “without any taboos”.
Speaking at the start of a meeting of experts, civil and military officials and politicians on the construction of a new defense strategy for Germany, der Leyen said: “Today, we are beginning our work on a new White Paper on the security policy and the future of our armed forces, the Bundeswehr.”
She said the White Paper would form the basic strategic document of the German military.
Germany has long opposed providing weapons to parties in conflict zones, but decided last year to send arms and ammunition to the Kurdish Peshmerga forces in their fight against ISIL
‘Alarming developments’
In another milestone decision last month, the German parliament approved deploying up to 100 soldiers in northern Iraq to train Peshmerga forces, clearing the way for the first German military deployment abroad without any NATO or UN Security Council mandate.
Public opinion in the country has been largely against Germany taking any military role in international conflicts but, in recent months, German government officials have been advocating a more aggressive foreign policy, supported by military measures, stressing Germany’s responsibility for international “peace and stability”.
As long as they can provide jobs for their enemies they’ll have no problems according to Barry.
There was some joke the drill sergeant told in basic training. A platoon sergeant tells the new private that there are no weapons for him, but if he sees the enemy just say “bangity bang” or “stabbity stab!” So he does that and it actually works a few times. Then another enemy keeps coming and tramples him saying “tankity tank, tankity tank.”
Well, we all laughed, anyway.
Broom Sticks , Blah , I always hated getting run over by those guys saying , “TANK TANK TANK”
