"Please see how noel grossly quoted me out of context to make his point. Not even close. Another Big Lie technique by our expatriate know it all."

This is what you wrote:
"FWIW in my opinion, it is very important for germany to participate in the military arena as well. Hitler is long dead, and the fear of renewed german militarism will never go away until the myth is shattered by good military performance in the peacekeeping arena. Non-participation shows a lack of committment to do heavy lifting and not an affinity to pure pacifism."

This is what I commented on:
"Non-participation shows a lack of committment to do heavy lifting ...."

My point is that Germany is participating in the fight against terrorism and shows a serious commitment to fighting terrorism, something which was not clear from your post. I documented my point.

If the quotes are Big Lies, so be it. They certainly demonstrate that your post is lacking in veracity.

"...and the fear of renewed german militarism will never go away until the myth is shattered by good military performance in the peacekeeping arena."

What is good military performance in the peace keeping arena?

As to you claiming that I am an expatriate, I don't see that that comment has any place here. If you have personal remarks please send them in private messages.
