Once upon a time, the Bundeswehr, the BAOR, and for that matter USAEUR were serious forces.
Today, not so much, any of them. BAOR is gone completely.
A whole lot of why we had to deal with such fubar ROE lately is because our “allies” have all signed the additional protocols.
Either we bend the knee and comply with those, or tell our “allies” to stay home and out of the way, otherwise, our “allies” risk legal jeopardy if they actually try to fight to win.
Our “allies” in every measurable way are a detriment to ourselves, militarily.
