America is going to be a pain in many backsides for a long time to come and you might as well get use too it. Just like the fat, disgusting, sweaty, cigar chomping redneck that the plumbing company sent over to fix your toilet, you know when he bends over what you are going to see.......right?
But like every one else, you look anyway. Now if you gotta do number 2, then this fat, disgusting, sweaty, cigar chomping redneck is a welcomed sight.....funny how that works, isn't it? Thank god for plumbers.

After all if this new United European Army comes to a reality then i dont think they would be so all powerfull.
Maybe a 25 years. I feel that the effectiveness of the entirely voluenteer military will begin to decline rapidlly and the military might of the US will not be near what it is today. THis is already noticable as we have rumors of th D word in congress. And I feel that many americans are tired of the military and will lobby for less military spending which will degrade the military.

One thing I think everyone here has forgotten is that America stands on an enormous amount of natural resources. If push came to shove, the US could be totally self sufficient. Sure, the public would whine and moan about some things but the US could do it no problem.

You do realize what you've advocated here, don't you? This would be the beginning of a The New World Order where nations unite under one government. Why in God's name would you advocate surrendering control of your sovereign military to the whims of other nations? Even if it is under the guise of a new "European Union." Is everyone's memory over there so short that they cannot even recall the fact that they have spent the past 7 centuries fighting one another? No offense toward anyone, but I just don't see it working out - too many different political agendas trying to work together.
