It is worth nothing if we don't maintain their standards and be prepared to fight, not for foreign wars, but against the way our freedom is being stolen in Brussels.

First point is an excellent one. To put it bluntly, I didn't have to get shot and gassed 'caused my grandad did it for me.
And it seems as if someone has forgotten about the Cold War. Not too much shooting going on; but there was a Major Mexican standoff happening, and we all know, or, at least, those who lived through it know, how close to extinction we were .... particularly in those thirteen days in October in '62. And it's not hard to figure out why the krauts have been quiet for '67 years ... They've been licking their wounds, and taking yank handouts so that they could get their economy booming again to the point where they could use economic muscle to do what they could not do militarily. It's not hard to figure out that the EU is little more than a front for German control of Europe. The French will probably tag along with them, looking to share the power. (A lot like the leader of your Lib-Dems
, eh.)
And let's not forget that while Europe has been peaceful for a while ... a peace of exhaustion, rather than a new commitment to peaceful co-existance ... the world hasn't been all that calm. And blame for much of this can be laid at Germany's door .... For example, it is a valid and defensible argument that if there had been no Third Reich, there would have been no Israel.
