Perhaps the BCC prefers fighting war without the troops. If you really do *need* to fight a war, and you don't have a strong enough Marines, there are other ways to go about it.

And so as NATO weakens from Europe's lack of interest in a military, the top NATO Generals are planning other ways to get the job done, if it should come to that.

Not exactly what the BCC would have intended, one suspects.

When was last time we needed to fight a war?
