Did the German's serve in Iraq btw?


Fortunately not.

a) Way too warm.
b) Not our business anyways.
c) Gerhard was Jaques' best friend and he had an election to win, soo...

Thought about signing up for two years and going to the Balkans for a bit of fun, but then again the stressy training wouldn't have been worth it and they don't have tanks down there.

Yeah. Not really busy 'though, since we're actually only keeping peace, instead of making it.
Right approach IMHO.

We do, it's just there's some namby-pamby persons in the SFO who would prefer to stop us selling them...

I have to say, there may be some NATO forces in Afghanistan who would appreciate a few more nations helping to "make the piece"...

Oh come on, the Argentines didn't use missiles and aircraft of French origin to attack our Royal Navy and Army in the Falklands War back in 1982 did they.







Oh wait, they did... :P :P :P

Not a chance.
I'm glad our politicians refused on that one. I'd have done the same.
