Of course you're right, I should have specified West Germany. That's where I used to live, and that's where he told my dad.

We are about due for global conflagration... it's been almost 60 years since the last one.

Just something interesting...

Damned devious Nazi german militarists!! Now all they need is Bush, as Hitler of course. Cheney, as the brains behind it all and in poor physical health just like Goebbels. And finally Wolfowitz, reprising the role of Heydrich as Jewish super devious nazi. Putting in strong supporting performances will be Connie Rice - a classic nazi femme fatale, Rumsfeld as the old militarist and finally Colin Powel as the glorious respected and beloved wartime commander to bring some respectyablity for the lot. Yep they will get the fourth reich rolling up tp spped in no time...

I don't think anybody who mattered ever entertained the thought that Germany had started it's last war . Because of it's shamefull past Germany is so rife with the disdainment of anything warfare, to the point of war; this country from which sprang militant peace organizations. Ask any american serviceman who was stationed there about the german police, lol. The phrase police brutality is kind of a redundancy there .

They went from nazism to illegalizing the swaztica, is this irony lost on them ?

If you look at the grand scheme of things, it's obvious we're bent for world domination .

Quiver in fear.

I read that Germany are disarming - they're going to lose around 100 of their Panavia Tornado's and also their Phantoms. I can't remember the time scale of this. I think it's all down to finances.

Wish I could remember where I saw this, it might have been in one of the national newspapers in the UK.

I know that they have reduced the amount of Airbus A400Ms and Typhoon's they require, again for financial reasons.

chairboy, that holds true in all countries.

my family's chemical dist. company had to comply with checks every 5 years to insure that we could either supply chemicals to INDUMIL (military industries) or provide transportation services in case a state of emergency (war, natural disaster, etc) was issued.
