Answer 2

Sorry, but they have no Seals. There military is underfunded and has to be passive. The people of the former West Germany have become the bill payer for the unified Germany, with all the debt it took on by absorbing East Germany, after the wall fell and the cold war ended. For over 40 years during the Cold War the US was West Germany's military force and they spent very little on there military, as a percent of GNP, because they did not have to as large concentrations of NATO troops were there to defend them. Now that the vast bulk of US NATO troops have left, they are faced with funding there own military force. Unfortunately they can not afford it, as there Socialist/Leftist ways are destroying them, just like it is destroying France, though France will go broke first and fall into civil/cultural war a few years before Germany.

Answer 3

The GSG-9 units are special forces teams similara to SEAL Team 6, and are trained specifically for hostage rescue. They cross train heavily with the Navy SEALs, Air Force ParaJumpers (PJs), Marine Recon), as well as the Royal Dutch Marines and the British SAS and SBS (Special Air/Boat Services).

Answer 4
