Germany's Armed Forces

Re: A Household Word:

I'd like to say to the anonymous poster who stated Germany does not even have Armed Forces anymore, where have you been for the past 20 years? As far back as the mid 90s, the German Luftwaffe has had fighter jet planes in the USA, stationed at Holloman AFB, NM, and training with our Air Force. You can read a history of their Air Force here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luftwaffe. The German Air Force now has over 400 aircraft of their own. And they have had no small contingent of military forces fighting alongside the American and British forces in Afghanistan since the early part of this decade. As a matter of fact, they are the largest Allied force there after the American and British forces. They do indeed have a military force, and that force will one day be turned against us again, with very different results next time.
