From my experience with German troops and officers, they're 99 44/100% good people, and significantly more conservative than their civilian brethren.

Funny, that sounds awfully familiar (g).

My take: the Bundessee (and Bundesland and Bundesluft. . .) know who their real friends and allies are. . .even if their political bosses don 't. . .

Aside from soldier who are fulfilling mandatory service, most military personel are loyal, moderately conservative, people.
