The fatal flaw in this theory is females in the military.

Females will increasingly drain military budgets, weaken training and warrior attitudes, and will only increase the fantasy of technology being enough to win major wars.

The female Defense Minister is probably unaware of that.

I thought Germany's military had atrophied to a shadow of its former self by financing the German welfare state? I don't see the pussified Bundeswehr making a comeback.

Make the German armed forces the top employer...

“Von der Leyen was presenting a proposal for a more attractive Bundeswehr at the German parliament...”

More attractive? What does that mean?

Sounds like they’re trading in the horse cavalry for a few jeeps. A start, but still won’t be much more effective against the newest Russian battle tanks.

Well, OK, but no partitioning Poland this time.
