Hey Moose. As I said openly to a few visiting EU type military, the current perception here is largely that the combined boy scout troops of two states could battle the French & German military to a draw.
Thanks for the reply. The frogs are joke, but I do like french women. The germans have cut their defense budget so low over the years that they don't really have an effective military any longer, just a glorified police force. And Schroeder and Chirac enthusiastically endorse an independent EU rapid reaction force? Ha!
