#5 The armies of the rest of NATO have shrunk astonishingly fast in the last fifteen years, as quickly as the British armed forces have shrunk, they haven't kept pace with Germany or the others. The days of a massed conscript Bundeswehr are gone. Yes, they're more professional, but they're barely there, now. The new eastern members of NATO have been following the German example for the most part - the Polish Army is now unnervingly small. The Russians have always operated on the maxim "quantity has a quality all its own"...
