This is the most pessimistic account of the German military I've read, and admittedly I've read several propaganda and mainstream media pieces about the German military.

To people that share this low opinion of the German military, is it worse in Germany than the other major European armies (France, UK)?

Drone overflights are not the problem he thinks it is. A western military is categorically prohibited from shooting at civilians and their things. And the people who say "just shoot them" don't understand what theyre asking for.

Having said that, the Germans have for decades not funded their military. Politicians have for decades degraded the profession of war and those who pursue it and now those chickens are coming home to roost.

Frankly they deserve this, and they are extremely lucky their opponent is so butthurt they're doing this sabotage during peacetime so the Germans at least have the option to fix themselves.

As a european, I do not consider it peace time. It's an ongoing hybrid war.

Also, blaming germans for "degrading profession of war" shows quite some gaps in history knowledge.
