Sometimes you want to say really clearly your opinion into the face of government! Would YOU have some advice for YOUR government? [My defence minister in Berlin has spent millions on a U.S. drone (Euro Hawk) that is not allowed to fly at all in Europe. The stupid man should quit his job!]

Love the dog! The list for complaints against my government is a bit encyclopedic. On a macro scale I’d say one thing, “Cut the rhetorical crap and do what you’re supposed to do.” Sadly, I think my statement would fall on deaf ears.
