#1 Before WW-2 what country had the greatest success with breaking the Enigma machine? Poland. Why? One Good reason was that they were wedged between a hostile Germany and a hostile Soviet Union. Their 'best and brightest' had ample reason to step up and defend their country -- they were motivated.

Look at the new Land of the Lotus Eaters, Europe. They don't see any threats on the horizon and sadly they are trying so very, very hard not to see any. They, like a self-proclaimed Socialist ex-friend, are so blinded by oikophobia that they are too busy to look over the wall and check for barbarians... This will not end well.

#2 The basic problem is that they grew up in the sheltering arms of Uncle Sam. Thus instead of viewing it as a magnificent gift, they see it as the normal baseline.

Why should they fight? Peace is because of the EU, not the odious Americans. Spend on a military? Like the baby-killing Americans? Never!

#7 Welfare is bad on personal and national levels and should always include strings to motivate the recipient to care for themselves as quick as possible.
