What is a "European Military"? When will Americans understand that Europe is not set up like the US..? Europe isn't made up of different states but different NATIONS!! Every nation chooses it's own policy whether leaning more towards socialism or not...who more who less. But that's quite funny since Britain has been a democracy since before the US even existed. I don't see how a country like Britain is any more "socialist" than the US, to be honest.
And European militaries do a perfectly fine job...we don't invade countries at a whim like the US so all we really need is a defensive force, which they do a splendid job (when was the last time a European nation was invaded? 60 years?). I see someone has never been to Europe to actually see how it is...not how Tom Clancy thinks it is. I can see how the US got into trouble in Iraq because your way of thinking about the world is completely wrong..I would put down that as more worrying than actually not being able to do algebra and such. Seriously...for someone who harps on about "lack of education" you do display a surprising amount of ignorance my dear Sea Queen. :rotfl:
p.s. Ban me, suspend me I don't care, but I as a European, find such hypocritical and untrue bigotry offensive. Shame on you....and we're supposed to be allies? puh...you make the US sound like imperialist despots.. Yeah...the US is working...right....that's why your economy is down the crapper...right.
