Europe and the Rest of the World - A Military Analysis

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

America has the best gear? Bollox! We cannot afford to equip our guys with the best gear. Germans, Belgians, etc have far better gear, and yet these countries still would fear US Marines. It is not the machine, but the operator.
You see, everything you are going after, tech, etc. is all very good, but it does not matter if it is given to the wrong people. Could you imagine if the US Marines were drawn mostly from New York and Mass? What a joke!

Can't afford? Rubbish, your defence budget is higher in millions of dollars, Per Capita and GDP wise.

F-22 Raptor, able to target and engage even before they show up on enemy raidar.

Yanks get all the Guccii battlefield control tech, it's what gives you the ability to direct your soldiers. Everything else is pretty much on par, we all use the same basic infantry weapons, only Britain uses an individual tank gun... etc.

what does Germany have that is better than US gear?
