Wow, if we're getting overstretched already, we might as well not fight, it's a long way from over, and why lose anymore of our fine military men is we're just going to quit. Maybe we can just defend America, and hell with the rest of the world? Y'all can just defend Germany, k?
If I look at the noise the democrats are making in your country I doubt that you could send another 250 000 to let's say Syria or Iran at the moment without risking peace campaigners to win the next elections.
Imagine Cindys march on washington.
Plus your facing a recruiting problem.
But sending the army in there is maybe what's needed in the near future.
BTW the german army is still not transformed from cold war times to a more international organization. We can do battle by tanks in the northern german planes - but our delivery of Airbus 400Ms has not arrived yet. The units we transformed already rotate in and out of afghanistan, the horn of africa etc etc.
And don't tell me we should speed this up - because we already did. Please remember taht there were times when noone was too keen to see our soldiers outside germany - and they are not so long ago (can understand that, but not change it)
