Intervene in their societies? My Presbyterian ass! Ever heard of World War-2? The Cold War? In layman's terms, we were their to keep the Russians out, the Germans down, and us in. After all, we had been forced to send America's sons to fight and die TWICE last century in European Wars.

We held the line. Maintained a 300K man Army in Europe, even when we had 500K men in Vietnam! I spent time at the Fulda Gap. Doubt if you've even heard of it...

Is that the place all you guys in Armor were going to get killed while those of us in Pershing blew the hell out of the Warsaw Pact? ;-)
