So if i ask you evidence you give me your own biased opinion based on hearsay, while a) you are not European. B) You havent served in military. Do you seriosly think that gungho attitude will make you a good soldier? That having nonsensensical romantic views concerning war and admiring it will make you a good soldier? You talk about loathing of war. Maybe you should compare which opponent is more dangerous.One who has romantic fantasies about war, or one who aknowledges that war is miserable strategy, but is still willing to wage that if needs to be.Ignorance does not make anyone better at anything.
You do know that all around the World there are lot of fanatics that are prepared to blow themselves up or kill anyone if ordered without much of a blink of an eye? If you place such people against well trained soldiers, all taunting in the world does not do them lot of good when they are moved down by people who use their training in order to stay alive and defeat their opponents.Maybe for example you would like to tell us how many countries of Europe have deployed to Afghanistan right now? Why are they there fighting alongside US troops if they are so demoralized they could not even defend their own homes? Strangely enough when you look at the statistics what happens when they get into firefights with Talibans and Mujahediin, these things become very one sided affairs while the Afghans might be one of the most warlike people in the world. You can only get far enough with self praise. It really doesnt matter how best you think you are when you walk in to the wrong line of sight of the enemy.
If you want to believe that you live in some sort of warrior culture without any peers, please do so, but if i were you i would keep such fantasies to myself as you dont clearly have anything to back up those romantic views of yours.
