Well, it's true. Our military is pathetic. Threatening to reduce the protection from NATO by Trump was one of the few reasonable things he did. It's time for us to face some inconvenient truths about the need for an effective military. |

I was actually in the army for a year. What a waste of time! The main problem is not even the (lack of) money. The main problem is that the German military only attracts those who can't get a job elsewhere. And if you've worked for the military for more than a year or two, nobody will hire you anymore because people believe you've been "spoiled" by the military to be an ineffective and lazy bum. It would probably be better if, rather than increase our military spending, we give the additional money to the Americans to buy protection. I have little hope that we can fix this. |

You can fix it. Germans are Germans. With the right impetus, you can make soldiers of them. |

As human beings, the Waffen SS left a lot to be desired. As soldiers, among the best. There is bound to be a way to take those same genetics and unit pride, and keep the good stuff, while keeping out the bad. |

These traits are not genetic but cultural. It would take something like an immanent threat to be destroyed by another country to turn Germany's military into a respectable force. |

That seems to be a recurring problem. It's really interesting the veneration we pretend to apply to the whole deal. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |
