As a military force the Bundeswehr has grown out of the ashes of the Wehrmacht into a nice capable force. But it is politicaly neutered.

What good is it having the finest main battle tank in the world the Leopard II if you never get the permission to use it? I almost beleive that the German government would use it for the defence of France or Poland but never for its own self interests. Its almost a self hatred phenominon Germans have nurtered into themselves. My advice, Admit the past and move on for a better future. This National guilt complex for the crimes commited during 12 years 65+ years ago cannot be healthy for your nations future and this political paralises in 2009 can be linked directly to the concious of the German polulation for what happened in 1933-45.
