Until now, Germany had to be restrained in a delicate topics army. Today we are beginning to use the term “responsible” for the world .. Bundeswehr, as well as the whole of Germany, considering the greater responsibility for the world. The readiness to use armed forces called Joachim Gauck.
Official cites German President Jochim Gauck, who announced that Germany will never support a purely military solutions, will be cautious and diplomatic, but … – But if you have to use the German army, nor can we speak of the principle of “no”, nor can we reflexively nod – he said at the beginning of Joachim Gauck quoted in the article. – I feel that our country should probably put aside restraint that was in place in the past decades, in favor of greater responsibility – he said on another occasion.
The rulers are therefore more willing to send German troops into action. Ready is not the army itself. Loud was the discussion after the publication of the German “Spiegel” about a crumbling hardware of the Bundeswehr.
