I am a firm believer in a profi army, especially nowdays. The Bundeswehr needs a total makover. Tonight on TV they showed the 50th Birthday of the Bundeswehr on the TV... even the military bands were playing very limp classical music instead of marches... not so long ago an officer refused to train his men "for war", he was disciplined... took the Bundeswehr to court... and WON !!! to require him to train his soldiers fr war is unconstitutional !! I think it takes at least 3 full years to train a soldier, months is a waste of everyones time.
