		On the announcement of the Irish contribution to the ERRF, the Fianna Fail Minster of State for Defence, Seamus Brennan, was quick to emphasize that the establishment of a EU military capability was not the creation of a European army.

		Irish governments have realigned Irish neutrality during the 1990s, and the Irish contribution of troops to the ERRF is a reflection of this.

		Despite the valiant and skilled performance of the US Army Rangers, our most significant combat encounter in Mogadishu looks just like Braddock's defeat--and Russian regulars were recently "Little Big Horned" in Tajikistan by tribesmen who slipped across the Afghan border.
		While most warriors will attempt to maintain their privileges of violence on their own territory, within their own linguistic groups, the overall number of warriors is growing so quickly that even a small percentage migrating from trouble spot to trouble spot could present a destabilizing factor with which we have yet to reckon.
		This does not mean the Army should not train to fight other organized militaries--they remain the most lethal, although not the most frequent, threat.
