lets tear down the bases as we leave

[NHResident]

There are 3 reasons to close the bases:
1) The bases should be located on the basis of what is best
for protecting the US - moved east they are less expensive, more efficient and more effective at doing that job.
2) It is NOT the US taxpayers' responsibility to maintain Germany's semi-socialist economy; we already are being forced to pay for the whole world's drug research.
3)It is long past the time that Europe realized they are responsible for their own defense and economic health.
