Germans are sissies who lose every war they ever fight.

Tell that to all the folks in countries next to Germany, especially the frogs.

Regarding the recent reports of the German efforts in Bosnia and/or Kosovo, can anyone tell me if the krauts still use conscripts?

"I was really impressed by the toughness and intensity of the investigation that was immediately set in motion," Mr. Schröder said, "and that shows how great the power of American democracy is."

Sounds as if Schröder gets back to Diplo-speak. Btw, the title is definitely misleading. Schröder said clear that he will not stay in the way, if a majority of NATO members wanted an Iraq mission.

I would never believe anybody saying that German troops are cowards. Btw, Surrender means Kapitulation and not Auslieferung (extradiction) in German, dear FredWolfe. This Balkans incident was due to confusing orders and probably weak rules of engagement.

And yes, we´re still having conscripts. 80,000 of the 280,000 soldiers are drafted men for 9 months. After three months of basic training they serve as tank drivers, infantry, support personnel, etc.
