Well, was it really? In no other country more Starfighters F-104 fell from the sky. The Luftwaffe bought bigger numbers than they could maintain. Maybe that was symptomatic - not just for the Luftwaffe.
However, since those times the Bundeswehr certainly has not grown in credibility. And as I said, I deeply question its self-understanding of today.
Or when you think about attacking Germany, would you think twice when seeing our top level barracks barbie in action?
Aren't you scared, aren't you deterred now?
