Well, yes:
The use of armed soldiers to patrol alongside pavement cafes and selfie-snapping tourists in European cities since jihadi attacks risks compromising deployments overseas, military leaders say.
Belgium and major military power France, both active in EU and NATO missions, have cut back training to free up troops and NATO planners fear that over time armies may get better at guarding railway stations and airports than fighting wars.
Some of the more than 15,000 soldiers serving at home in Europe say tramping the streets is a far cry from the foreign adventures they signed up for and that they feel powerless to defend against militants.
American ground troops are less effective in high intensity combat because they have spent so much time fighting insurgents. Imagine what walking around a city does to troop skills and morale?
There are 15,000 European troops on this kind of duty now.
And don't even pretend these are even remotely effective as actual police.
If Russia was involved in pushing refugees and migrants to Europe, this has been a most effective effort to undermine NATO defenses.
