Reply to: German Army vs British Army - who would win?

[dang65]

I thought that the Germany army was constitutionally forbidden to actually fight (that what they always say when they are asked to send volunteers to somewhere dangerous).

They're allowed to fight, but "only in defense". As Afghanistan is classed as "defense", the German army is engaged there (so presumably it's not what they always say when they are asked to send volunteers to somewhere dangerous). They are the ones that called in that air strike on the stolen oil tankers the other day.

what a pointless thread

My dad. Your dad's a sissy!

Non argument.

The British (and no nukes required)

[shaunbhoy]

I reckon them Germans are just as efficient as they were 70 years ago. They're just keeping it quiet and letting us bankrupt ourselves in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Clever buggers.

The Germans are no longer allowed to come out to play after dark German Elf and Safety innit? So they wouldn't stand an earthly.....again.

So they wouldn't have a chance, would they?

Ah, but in 1930 they weren't allowed to re-arm.

What's to stop them secretly building nukes, tunnelling under the north sea, and planting them under London?

So that's where they've been spending all their money Dirty Krauts.

They ain't allowed nukes.

The Germans aren't bothered about not having nukes though. They reckon they could just take France's in a matter of days

So could I.

Wouldn't necessarily require nukes, just the TLAMs. Not sure if we'd be able to get replacements though as the US probably would not take too kindly to the UK expending it's entire stockpile on a friendly nation...

They would be happy enough if we did it to Franch though.

As the song used to go, many many moons ago (and slightly inaccurately as it happens)... "We won the war in 1944"...

I belive the actual lyrics are :

"Two World Wars and One World Cup,
Two World Wars and One World Cup"

[Moscow Mule]

Don't the Jerries have TLAMs too?

IIRC , only USA & UK have them.

Also, I don't think they have the subs to deploy them (with the UK as a target).

what a pointless thread

Are there any others?
