Actually, except for the Brits, no European army can operate with our forces because they simply can't match our operational tempo.

Makes sense. No doubt true. However, how do we know this? Croatia?

Gulf War I and Afghanistan, as well as the military doctrine of the Euro armies.

During Gulf War I we had to put the French Foreign Legion a out of harms way because they just couldn't cut the mustard.

The Euros just don't have the logistics capability, communications or equipment to fight the kind of fast-moving, integrated war which we wage.
