•About 165,000 U.S. soldiers and their dependents pump more than $1 billion into local economies each year, business leaders say.
•Massive U.S. pullout could cost 80,000 German jobs, the Verdi labor union predicts.

Gee, if Germany and France actually participated in the war on terror, gosh, we might have been able to keep that base open.

I was in Neuebrueke, Idar Oberstein and Baumholder back in 68 and the comrades didnt seem to care too much for us back then....
I guess they must have really grown to love 'amies' since.... eh?

Then the Germans should stop cavorting with the Russians and the French to undermine and oppose US interests.

Actually the sum total of our foreign aid and military expenditures overseas is some 300 billion dollars...why its a huge chunk of our year budget deficits...imagine that! I think it is time to stop putting our selves and our children into hock and tax slavery so the rest of the free world can refuse to work and defend itself!
NATO, the EUROTRASH, and the UN can each go to the blazes!
