I appreciate the response, I agree with pretty much all your points. Your observation on the political leanings of the American military vs European militaries is interesting however, granted I've only experience with the former. I'm curious as to what makes you believe that some of them "could probably coup pretty easily" (without America of course)

Taking the example of Germany, typically the average left wing populace in Europe is uninterested in military or security jobs, leaving them wide open for infiltration. If those organizations that have been infiltrated had no threat of American troops or air/missile strikes, there would be little in their way for regime change. Idk if the situation elsewhere in Europe is quite as extreme as Germany or Ukraine in this regard but it seems similar based on comments the troops make.

granted I've only experience with the former

How's your time with them been?
