#24 I know, why don't ranburgers make up the numbers and bring some europeans home. Right wing Neo-cons and Muzzies fighting - hopefully you will take each other out. Oh I forgot you need to be here writing pointless drivel. If you are that worried get yourself over to muzzieland and take some out, or do you think they will take you out... |

#23 Actually, custer, I believe you missed the whole point. It's not about bringing some Europeans "home". It's about the forces at "home" and the future Muzzie battles at "home" in Europe. And it pains me to think that once again Americans are going to be called to rescue the innocents of Europe from another massive European mess. Have time for a carbeque before heading up to Little Bighorn, custer? |

#22 Lol. Why don't you ask yourself, "Where'd all those fucking indians come from?" Toddle off, winky, most of us have already served - something I'm sure you would know nothing about. |

#18 German tank crews have always worn pink piping. Black uniforms with pink piping. |

#17 It is interesting that, during the Cold War, lots of "sophisticated" experts claimed stability was the key. Then this crazy cowboy named Ronald Reagan decided to go for victory. 10 years later the Soviet Bloc had disappeared. Al |

#15 In fact, I wonder why a couple hundred armed jihadis don't just storm the EU "cockpit" in Brussels, and demand the keys to the kingdom. Maybe coordinate it with a few train bombings to show they really mean business. By the time the EUnuchs figured out what to do, it would be over, and Europe would belong to the Dar al-Islam. I can only guess that internal bickering is the only reason they don't go for it. LOL! it hertz. |

#13 Spot, life in European militaries ain't that hard. German 19-year-olds have to do 12-18 months of compulsory military service (or they can opt for civil service in a hospital or something). My German ex-boyfriend and his younger brother went the military route, and spent that time drinking beer, watching porn, and generally goofing off. Had a blast. Biggest issue was the color coding on the epaulettes and berets -- these days, German tank crews wear pink. Kinda says it all. As for Europe's future -- "one stiff breeze and it falls over" -- I couldn't agree more. In fact, I wonder why a couple hundred armed jihadis don't just storm the EU "cockpit" in Brussels, and demand the keys to the kingdom. Maybe coordinate it with a few train bombings to show they really mean business. By the time the EUnuchs figured out what to do, it would be over, and Europe would belong to the Dar al-Islam.

#12 After Europe's next fall, the most likely scenario is another American bailout. Having saved Europe's ass repeatedly in the past, I'm afraid we're destined to do it again. Oh, and we'll get about as much gratitude for it as we now enjoy. |

#10 Those 10,000 tanks will come in handy during the final surrender and conversion to Islam. Nice gift to present their new masters. |

#9 ..So let me get this straight - having to compete with a smaller pool of applicants, instead of increasing pay and benefits they cut back on the number of people they need. Brilliant. Mike |

#8 That core (corps?) of unemployed wouldn't join the military because they're on the dole - why take a job (and a tough one at that) when you can freeload? US out of EUrope - now! |

#7 Demographically they could increase the size of the military and decrease unemployment and even decrease their Muslim immigrant worker rate if they actually made the unemployed and underemployed work for their supper. Plus, how much vacation do they get? I would like that kind of labor deal too, but it needs to be recognized that it comes with strings attached. |

#6 But tea parties are so much more fun than actually thinking and planning and stuff, Alaska Paul. /No, of course I don't mean that. If I did, I wouldn't hang out at Rantburg. Fine. Let them fall to the barbarians then. We'll just have to recolonize the emptied Europe later, with the refugees that flee to our shores. |

#5 Dr. Steve---Comments right on the mark. Europe needs to define the threats and needs w/r/t defense, then the military types, size, and all elso derives from the threats and needs. The rest of what they are doing now is just a bureaucrat's mad hatter's tea party. |

#3 Demographically, keeping their military the same size would involve depending more an more on their Asian minorities to fill out the enlisted ranks. I don't know that an Asian military trained in Europe would be a good idea. |

#2 The age-old question is answered... a whimper |

#1 We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together Headpiece filled with straw. Alas! Our dried voices, when We whisper together Are quiet and meaningless As wind in dry grass Or rats' feet over broken glass In our dry cellar Shape without form, shade without colour, Paralysed force, gesture without motion;,,, This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper.
