Their chancellor is an idiot, but the German military are a different breed. Much different than their grandfathers who my father chased across North Africa...but I digress.

Generally, it's not the soldiers and sailors who are the problem, it's the morons at the top. As long as we remain optimistic about our fellow humans and cynical about those alien creatures known as politicians, there may yet be hope for life on this planet.
