>>I find it utterly amusing<<

These moves are the first steps toward creating a European Union defense force and essentially obsoleting NATO.

The new army that the US demonstrated in Afghanistan and Iraq can be built by any power that is sufficiently rich and determined to spend the money. The European Union certainly is in such a position and this position will be further strengthened in a few years, if all the plans of the Eurocrats for EU expansion come into fruition, and the whole edifice survives and thrives. European teenagers are not much different than American teenagers, and can be enticed into a technology-based, professional, very low casualty army, just as American teenagers are -- especially given European teenage unemployment rates.

Luxemburg has one of the main ingredients for today's new army: money.
