WTF. Get off your high horse. Europeans have been fighting for freedom for thousands of years. The US has been doing it for, what, two hundred or so?

Ignorant piece of @#$#

Gondor: wtf, im not even mentioned. I was the glue to this family. Thats BS!

Re: Military Question

As for living conditions on base.  The living conditions on base are far superior to any community in the USA or any other country.  Gyms, swimming pools(indoor and outdoor), and every other gym has racquetball courts,  all have weight rooms,  some have indoor tracks.  sauna's, whirlpools and anything else you could want.  There are theaters, Clubs that have 3-4 different areas for different kinds of music and entertainment, formal dining area.  A commissary (grocery store that make anything the civilians have look like a candy store), Post Exchange that carries just about anything you could want(makes wallmart look like a 7-11).  Bowling alleys, recreation centers where you can get campers, boats and just about anything else.
Wood shops, metal shops(I made armor plate and ring mail and my sons and daughters beds along with many other projects), automotive shop with enough equipment you can build a race car, paint booths, and oil changing and any other maint. you want to perform on you privately owned vehicle. There is more but I don't have the time to tell you everything.

Based upon the 2 posts I have read of yours, I think I will rank this opinion of yours as almost worthless. Living on a base in Germany for 9 years does not qualify you to comment about whether Europeans are free or not.  Not being able to keep an M16 under the sofa for "self defense" does not mean that you are.... un-free(?).

Yes I was guessing where you lived. Wherever it was you obviously didn't see or experience much.

Please explain the Schengen Treaty to me if you truely believe what you are saying. How many countries can an American travel to without a passport?

Re: Military Question

hmmm what freedom are you talking about? Unless you're swiss some of that 2000 years was for some monarch

I don't think there's any country an American can go to without a passport these days

only an ass would try

Nope, as of Jan 1st this year Americans wanted a passport for Canadians, and we returned the favour.

Re: Military Question

I thought it was them being pissed at us

Because we disrespected our friendship by taking real action against al qaeda just walking into the US

I'm not sure where you got that idea from, but it was a good laugh though, thanks smile NZer's and Aussies can go work in each other's countries, claim sickness/unemployment benefits (with a delay at the start though), healthcare etc, without any visa or any paperwork, but we still need a passport.
