The German military, once the most feared fighting force in Europe, is being forced to lay down its weapons by restrictive new overtime limits.
German soldiers taking part in a four-week Nato exercise in Norway earlier this year had to leave after just 12 days because they had gone over their overtime limits, it has emerged.

European manhood...
Commie leaders.
Would they just leave a field during a battle because they went over budgeted hours?
Reminds me of the Wiley Coyote and the sheep dog cartoons.
“Night Sam”
“Night Charlie”
- punch the time clock
Is this why the Wehrmacht was stopped at the eastern front?
Let’s hope Trump keeps at least ONE promise and stops funding these assholes in the EU who aren’t paying for their own fucking self-defense (overtime my white Irish ass) but ARE paying for muslims to have babies and eat/live rent-free.
I spent three years in Bavaria under the constant threat of having to pack up our shit and hit the road in under 6 hours to race to the Fulda gap to keep the Rooskies at bay and do Nuc-Bio-Chem cleanup as necessary and these worthless fucks cant complete an EXERCISE because of union rules?
What have the Germans become - besides a bunch of girly-men who squat to pee and wear eye makeup to match their scarves - if they cant even do a fucking EXERCISE for the love of Pete (or Dieter as the case may be but dont ask or tell or Detlev will get jealous).
Fuck Europa. Give it to the slims.
Rant mode off.
If the opposing forces are in the same union, then yes.
Now there's an angle the girly boys Obama has left in the Pentagram haven't struck upon, hourly work for the Military. Maybe the SEIU can come in and get their wages boosted to $15 per hour(over three years) and put them all on the clock. What a concept. Time and a half for night fighting? Go for it Obama! Go for it ValJar!
The German army is on a time clock?
Eff em. They are NOT a NATO ally with that nonsense.
TEETHING problems? Ze Cherman army? Vhat did you chust zay?
WAS ist hier los?
Somebody pointed out that the various European militaries aren’t going to stop sh!t. NATO exists to give the United States an excuse to be on the European mainland as a deterrent and an excuse to get involved on day one of any conflict.
"Tell Ivan we're on break!"
This is absurd beyond the usual levels of stupidity.
War does not give weekend breaks, or time off for tea.
Part of the exercise SHOULD BE getting soldiers used to the idea that in actual war they will be pushed to exhaustion and beyond, and will need to find the inner strength to push on. Yes, after the exercise is completed (victory), give them a week or two off to rest up and recover, but they should have completed the exercise.
Sure. Dock workers during WWII refused to load ships a few times. Of course unionists would. Germany is basically a big Union now.
But it’s a good thing. The world spent almost 100 years of lives and treasure trying to keep Germany within it’s own borders. They succeeded. Why change a good thing?
A female chancellor, a female secretary of defense and a bunch of homosexuals in the barracks. Not my Bundeswehr anymore.
