and send france over to help the "evil army" maybe surrendering would catch on ;D

Only in Iraq.. everybody has to answer to U.S. in Iraq because they're in charge of the war, and a bunch of U.N. nations help them out..

no being stationed in Japan i know all of the japanese messages go through us. they have to let the U.S. know whenever they plan anything with their military
Jome:
Oh, scratch Japan off the list then..
The point is though, that many countries have strong or decent militaries, but most of them never need to show it off..

Show it off?
What does that even mean?
You are quickly moving into territory you don't know about jome...
I guess the six nuclear tests in 1995 that the French conducted in the South Pacific weren't Showing off?
I guess the fact that russia had one of it's largest military drills in 15 years last august isn't showing off?
What about the German troops in Afghanistan?
What about the UK troops in Iraq?

Or "need to use it", however you'd like to put it..
Lol at using tests/drills as a example..
Boy, do I know about this..
Russia is in war with Tsjetsjenian forces/guerilla, Germany have troops in Iraq, Australia have troops in Iraq, U.K. have troops in Iraq, Norway had troops in Iraq, Spain had troops in Iraq, etc.
It's not like ANY of these countries are using their full or even half of their military forces.. it's more like companies/troops.
But they send forces to help out U.S. when requested by U.N., without these countries in Iraq, U.S. would have been in deeper horse shit than they are in Iraq now, even though it's not looking good at all.
