And by the way, I think more than just I object to the "free ride" comment you make. I'd just as soon the US didn't piss away valuable resources on milatary hardware which has been proven useless in Iraq and, ultimately, Afghanistan too.

All that hardware, and the US has made the EU less safe. Nobody's asking the US for anything around these parts, as far as I can see, maybe you can try that argument out on the Canadians.
