German Soldiers Powered by Beer, Too Fat to FightBy Mike Adams, December 4, 2008 | Key concepts: Alcohol, Soldiers and Afghanistan Germany soldiers are living on beer and sausages, smoking up nicotine and shunning fruits and vegetables. A whopping 40 percent of them are overweight, making them "too fat to fight," say newly-released German parliamentary statistics.The Germany Army is known as "Bundeswehr" (no, that's not Budweiser), and is reportedly failing miserably in Afghanistan (but then again, who isn't?). Don't drink and drive an armored personnel carrierAlcohol, of course, has always played an important role in every military force throughout human history, but today's German soldiers seem to be raising the art of drunken soldiering to a whole new art. And no, "drunken soldier" isn't some fancy new martial arts combat style.Then again, can you blame these guys? If you were stuck in a failed war effort, commanded by politicians who don't understand the military, and given Army rations to eat, you'd probably prefer a pint of beer, too. You've also got to realize that no army can afford to feed its soldiers healthful fruits and vegetables for this surprising reason: Meat products and junk food encourage violent behavior, and that's all part of the point of a military presence in the first place. A war is, after all, the focused application of violence (or the threat thereof), and nothing keeps the soldiers more angry and violent than a diet full of low-nutrient processed foods and animal products. If soldiers were fed healthful superfoods, raw fruits and vegetables, far too many of them would go AWOL on meditation retreats or simply lay down their arms and walk away. And that's no way to run a military. So the beer and wine keeps flowing, and the soldiers keep getting fatter and madder. So if the soldiers are drunk, and the politicians are militarily ignorant, then how exactly is anything constructive supposed to get done on the ground in Afghanistan? Maybe the Germans and the Afghanis should all lay down their weapons, declare a stalemate, share a few rounds of beer and go home. Don't laugh: It's happened before. In the trenches of World War I and II, soldiers from opposite sides joined together in singing Christmas carols on Christmas Eve. The next day, they went back to shooting each other. Click to read: |
