Does anyone know how many bases there are now in Germany?

[mainepatsfan]

Poland would love to have them.

[Petronski]

[mainepatsfan]

Britain would as well. The French?

[mainepatsfan]

Don't forget Japan.

Some German cities are going to hurt.

"When Germany carries its own water, it has a nasty tendency to carry it to France and Poland."

Unless some of our forces are relocated there, go Poland! They can have France.

More unemployment for Germany beside all of the indirect and indirect costs to maintain those troops there.

Talk about a quagmire. The Truman Quagmire in Germany has lasted close to 60 years.

German people don't deserve us in such large numbers right now

US forces should not be deployed around the world as a reward to those who support our policies.

They are not needed in Germany, and should not be there.

[ClaireSolt]

that's some list. We still have a ways to go.

[Snickersnee]

They're headed for El Paso.

Coincidentally enough, the site of the only permanent German armed forces base outside Germany itself! Du Leiber Gott!

Anyone here ever serve at Ray Barracks in Friedburg Germany?

[Michael81Dus]

Well, unfortunately, the people living in the nearby towns are not the anti-American scum. It´s the leftists, who will welcome the US pullout just like you. And they won´t miss American nor do they have a clue what Germany needs to do in matters of security.

Coincidentally enough, the site of the only permanent German armed forces base outside Germany itself! Du Leiber Gott! El Paso? Isn't that Texas? The Germans permanently assigned in the US are in New Mexico. Unless I am mistaken...
