Good morning,

I already experienced that you are an expert in everything. Thanks for your advice, but it is not wanted here. You always know better, even if you don´t. Have your opinion, fine, but realize that sometimes others think of your opinion as a fantasy world.

Apparently, you have no clue of what is required to successfully lead troops during a protection mission. Our drafted soldiers aren´t trained to hunt for Al Quaida, they´re trained to defend important facilities, and in the worst case defend the homeland against whoever. For that, you need manpower who are capable to use their guns and equipment properly and who know how to behave in a military structure.

America has sent 18 years old to combat in Iraq. How many years of experience do they have? Approximately half a year... you´re right, how many dignity can a dead soldier have?

In other words, the 9 months worth of training does prepare your soldiers for the real thing? Oh, I forgot, because of "your history, the German soldiers aren't supposed to engage in war fare, with the exception of the Balkans.
It is you who always pretend to know everything. As a 22 yaer old you even argue with people who went through the situations. You cofessed to me a few months ago that you get bored about reading. Where do you get your information, does it go like this: "A friend of mine talked to a friend whose friend knows about x"?
I do understand that at your age, there is nothing else to learn, you know everything and everyone else is wrong.
It must be a German trait, since I remember doing much of the same thing at your age. Then I stepped back and absorbed the real world and kept on learning.
I am 61 years old, have lived through the hard times in your country, was there when the changes occured long before you were even a gleam in your fathers eye.
