IMHO in some ways they've "gone soft" -- that's where the market is, after all, but my sense is that they're not laid all the arms down forever. Your comments requested.
I'll like to see what the Germans would do after suffering from a terrorist attack by Al-Qaeda terrorists.
Well if Germany doesn’t start deporting muslims as fast as they can get them out of the country after that little message they need their heads examined.
“My thought too; I’m an American member of a German-dominated committee and I see how they think. Germany may look pacifist today, but if Al-Qaeda picks a fight with Germany A-Q has NO idea what will be coming down their throat in short order — and I can assure you it won’t be pretty for A-Q.”
I agree. I interacted with quite a few of my Bundeswehr counterparts when I was assigned at USEUCOM in Stuttgart. The Germans may have current constitutional requirements that call for pacifism, but that doesn’t speak to what will happen to those who directly pick a fight with them. I, too, believe the terrorists will not know what hit them if they pull a 9-11 on the Germans. I won’t believe for one minute they wouldn’t defend their homeland.
