Well I'm sure if you do some more research you will see most of their troops are very reluctant to do any fighting, hence why they stick to the north, whilst a select few countries do the fighting in the south.
Surely, you don't think the troops themselves get a say where they go? I am sure many of those "sunbathing" are itching to get into the action or just want to go home through boredom and being away from family.
Instead why don't you provide me with the research that backs up your broad generalisation that Germans and most Europeans do nothing compared to "our" boys? Otherwise why not just think a little more logically before you post.
What would be really great would be if you showed those big lazy Germans just how to really fight and join our boys out there.
