Is this the same NATO that protected your sorry ass from having to learn
Russian????????? Ungrateful *******!!!!!!

You do know the Soviet threat has gone don't you? Or you hanker for
the old days. THe old NATO mission is so far gone the new members
aren't even required to make up the old style national defence plans
where we'd all pour troops in to protect them.

The big question is that is NATO required, and is the new emphasis on
out of area ops a good thing?
