[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [qb] Only minor problem is that most European armed forces are crap. [/qb][/QUOTE]True enough... but with the US gone, they'd finally have some incentive to improve.

There's not a great deal really "mutual" about it, from our POV. I can count on no fingers the number of times since NATO was formed that its troops were called to duty in the Western hemisphere. We shouldn't have to defend ourselves AND carry European defense at the same time. Sure, we'll be on call if things get dicey, but they should be able to stand on their own by now. [/QB][/QUOTE]
