The European Union will be a military superpower for sure.


Hmmmmmm.



Britain is the only country in Europe with a decent and strong military.

France, Germany and the rest are falling behind the US and the UK militarily.


It's now becoming more and more obvious that "European Armies" are just the extension of their socialist agenda. Statistics show that most European nations, notably, France and Germany, spend more money on their personnel rather than vital military equipment. Thus the Army has just turned into another socialist employment scheme of people, who are otherwise unemployable. Neither France nor Germany or for that matter any European nation, except Great Britain, has the capacity to defend itself when attacked.

France and Germany should really stop pretending they are world powers. Bruce Bartlett 2003.



With respect adam, take your pro US and anti EU/europe/anyone who doesnt follow america blindy BS and kindly use it as a Suppository.

Let me adress some points here;
A) The UK's military is just as good as the french and german military and vice versay, period.
B) "Europes military has grown soft"? What the blooming hell is that about ? Your qoutes trying to say that the UK has gone soft? Ask the iraqis if the UK has gone soft, as the terrorists in afghanistan if the european armies have gone soft.
C) Since when was it thier "duty" as a major nation to step in and fight in iraq, thier people said no, hence why they did not go. I think as the supposed "land of the free" you should understand that the government does what its citezens want, its there for the people by the people.
D) You want to bring the iraq war up fine, but do it somewhere else.
E) The European military's are some of the best trained and best equiped militarys in the world, dont beleive me look at the gear.
