Gates: European Aversion to War a Danger to Peace
US Defense Secretary Slams 'Demilitarization of Europe'
by Jason Ditz, February 23, 2010
Speaking today at the National Defense University, US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates condemned European nations in general for their refusal to contribute larger portions of their population to NATO.
Gates warned that Europe’s aversion to war was doing serious harm to assorted US military operations with NATO backing, and was therefore “an impediment” to the lasting peace he envisions those wars eventually creating.
Gates’ comments appeared to be directed in part at the Netherlands, who saw its government collapse this weekend after NATO pressure to continue its commitment to the Afghan War led antiwar members of the government to withdraw.
He said that the “demilitarization of Europe” was a long-term, systemic problem for NATO, and that the European members of NATO needed to increase their military spending to NATO mandated levels.

find soldiers among their own, because of total cultural Decadance, so they had to go shopping.
The lesson from History is that whever goes up has to come down,
something zpiogates has to keep in mind.

...is a war with significant destruction on US soil. The same guy is pledging an increase of 2-5% in every year of the current Pentagon budget. He claims to be professor, he should just use a calculator to know what it means: the current Pentagon budget is higher then the combined budget of the 50 US states.

and completely delusional. If he keeps this up the war he will get will not be the US and/or NATO beating up on poor brown people in third-world villages but us in the rest-of-the-world coming down hard on his head.
