"On Tuesday, German broadcaster ARD revealed that German soldiers tried to hide the lack of arms by replacing heavy machine guns with broomsticks during a NATO exercise last year. After painting the wooden sticks black, the German soldiers swiftly attached them to the top of armored vehicles, according to a confidential army report which was leaked to ARD."
"For Germany’s military, hobbled helicopters were only the beginning. A parliamentary report leaked to the German press last week and obtained by The Washington Post detailed the shocking state of disrepair of Germany’s military hardware. Only one of its four submarines is operational. Only 70 of its 180 GTK Boxer armored vehicles are fit for deployment. Just seven of the German Navy’s fleet of 43 helicopters are flightworthy."
Americans sure seem to be concerned about Europe a lot for a nation that believes itself to be ah so exceptional.
