I am not insulting your comrads. I am just questioning the short time of service that the german military requires.
At 22, you have a lot to learn, my friend. You want to be the expert on everything. From economic principles, of which you admit you have no comprehension at all, to American Taxes vs German( Yesterday), to just about everything under the sun. Start reading ( which you hate doing) and educate yourself before making some ridiculous claims.
I have always heard the Argument about "because of our history" etc. That changed in the Balkans, which was not a UN sanctioned event, for the first time.

If not for my manners....

From economic principles, of which you admit you have no comprehension at all,

Get real, I admitted that I have not "that much understanding for business" and not I were a dummy.

to American Taxes vs German( Yesterday),

I habe been correct on that. Germans are free to escape from Germanys taxation - and many do - while you cannot escape US taxation.

( which you hate doing)

Another insult and false claim. I am not willing to read biased propaganda in foreign languages. I like reading - but things I choose to read and not what others want me to read!

Now another point where you prove to have no clue of German politics, except what your leftist family tells you. Because of our history and our constitution, we were not allowed to engage in other wars until 1994. In Kosovo, the united and free Germany fulfilled its obligation to humanity by preventing ethnic groups from slaughtering each other along with other NATO members. It was a necessity to act here. Germany has a responsibility for freedom and human rights in Europe BECAUSE OF ITS HISTORY!

And now stop going on my nerves.

Your new Recruits serve enough time to be a danger to themselves and everyone else. The short time they serve doesn't train them enough to protect anything, least of all themselves.

Oh, and that´s insulting very well. As if my comrades would be a danger to themselves and "everyone else". You are a great expert of military, indeed. And you know what soldiers can learn within 9 months sure. Have you replied to my question about the 18 years old dead GI´s? No? Could be pretty embarrassing for you to admit that your country sends those young guys to combat although they´ve served only several months before.

At least we keep our drafted soldiers just for the emergency.
