N.A.T.O.

  According to reports they have asked Britain to send more troops to Afganistan.
   This is the perfect time for us to say no,send troops from the member countries such as Germany, Belgium, Italy, France, etc. who do not pay their way.

How come the likes of those country's get away with not paying their way ffs.

I thought that the Euro fighter was made from country's such as Germany,France,Italy,U.K. Etc etc.

So why have a joint effort to make a fighter but then are not willing to pay their share to use the dam fighter

Thought they were after boots on the ground, not planes in the sky

Last report I saw only U.S.A. the U.K. and Poland contributed at  least 2% of GDP into N.A.T.O. as the member countries agree to do.
  Germany have been looked after since 1950s,its time that they stopped hiding behind the war they dont want anyone to talk about,and do some of the shit jobs in the world others have done for them for decades.
  After all they have all the money they are filching off the rest of Europe.

I think it's to do with the fact that they are conscripts and can't fight outside their home country  I do know that when the Germans sent troops to Afghanistan they are all NCO ranks and above the Professional soldiers

I  fact they aren't conscripts, it stopped in 2001 In  Germany and the bundeswehr are a professional army.  The Germans also deployed to Bosnia and Kosovo as they saw it as their role to stop genocide where ever it was happening. This all comes from a sense of guilt the country still feels following ww2.

So that guilt ze Germans carry around with them some 70+ years after the war ended ,will they still  carry the same guilt around some 70+ years after their open door policy for the immigrants

It was the guilt for the holocaust that led to them taking in the refugees. It was a well meaning attempt to try and improve these poor people's lives but it has backfired and groups like alternative for Germany (AFD) have come to the fore. Think the EDL but with support from a wider base. In the east the far right are rising again, because,in my opinion, they didn't have the same sense of collective guilt the west have because of communist indoctrination telling them that the Nazis were all from the west and the east were all the good socialists.

Not a good time for the moderates in Germany.

Thinking and EDL don't normally belong in the same sentence.

What about when it includes the word suspended in it?
