Well, it does sometimes seem to be the pick of the "European nations
which Anglophones tend to regard as a bit of a military joke" list.
Start with the French; fair enough. Then the Italians, the Spaniards,
(OK, they had Harriers for a while), the Portugese, the Greeks...
none of them is really a country to make someone brought up with the
British or American military traditions pay much attention.

Which is of course psychologically useful... :-)
