“Gates slams NATO allies over share of combat burden” Gates said in a speech in Brussels last week “….the United States is tired of engaging in combat missions for those who ‘don’t want to share the risks and the costs.”ВP He continued “The blunt reality is that there will be dwindling appetite and patience in the US Congress and in the American body politic writ large, to expand increasingly precious funds on behalf of nations that are apparently unwilling to devote the necessary resources … to be serious and capable partners in their own defense,”
