Defense Spending

All European NATO members need to spend more money for thier Soldiers and thier "tools of the trade". More troop carrying helo's, attack choppers, heavier weapons for thier platoons, communications equip. etc. We are at war with the people who are the heart of a twisted ideaology. We cannot let them win. France, you are a proud nation, please do not let them win.
