    Fair, but France spends almost the same amount of euros, but also maintains a nuclear arsenal, and an aircraft carrier and whatever we call colonial forces nowadays. That implies it’s not so much a funding issue, but a spending issue.

    Of course, you can fix a spending issue by finding it more, and Germany is only around 1.4% of GDP.

      The biggest enemy of the Bundeswehr is the BAAINBw, the Bundesamt für Ausrüstung, Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr.
