The world and time moves on.
I'm ex-military too (UK), and most of my operational time since 2001 has been in support of US wars - Iraq (twice), Afghanistan (lost count), Syria... plus others outside of Europe where the US has taken a back seat. May I remind you that the only time Article 5 was invoked
to date was after 11th September 2001?
Do I begrudge that? No, but I do sometimes question the "two-way" bit of alliances.
And guess what, I have to go throught the "foreigners" door and get my passport stamped too.
