#3 There is a dynamic at play in Germany of which I really not aware until recently. It seems the German left and MSM quickly jump on any polizei or government action involving East Euros, Turks, or gypsies, nearly any incident at all and label it police brutality, discrimintion, or re-emerging Nazi militarism. Some, obviously not all, of the anti-militarism and past reluctance to participate in the GWOT comes from this sector.

#5 How much fighting will they do? Not so very much, I think...

Quite a bit actually, during standard working hours (excepting reasonable lunch and break periods).
