Time for them to grow their own military. The troops are needed elsewhere.

"Iceland would be left with a small Coast Guard, which has two unarmed helicopters and an airplane."
Stop! Or we'll say "Stop!" again.

"unilateral decision"
What other kind of decision would it be? Is Iceland footing the bill for any of this?
To: knighthawk
A very strategic spot to leave undefended IMHO. I doubt Iceland has the manpower or the funds to effectively defend it...and it would be vital to our interests in the case of a major war requiring trans-atlantic shipments.

Who's going to attack Iceland? The country is a fricking island just below the Arctic Circle.

Bummer, I was stationed there 89-90.

I wouldn't slam Iceland. Though they haven't kicked in much in blood and treasure, they've been valued allies over the last century simply because of their location.
Plus they have weirdly hot chicks up there.

"Iceland would be left with a small Coast Guard, which has two unarmed helicopters and an airplane." That must put them about on par with Canada.

I've been lucky enough to have visited Iceland twice.
Not only are the people wonderful but the women are absolutely beautiful.
If I was stationed there, I would be protesting. LOL

Two unarmed Coast Guard ships? Now England and the Faeroe Islands can steal their cod with impunity.

Too fracking bad. Iceland has always treated all servicemen -- except for white officers -- as social untouchables. They remind me of the topside folks in the SG-1 Episode "What Lies Below," where the swells live in a wonderful deluxe city and the rest are enslaved in subterranean mines. As O'Neill says, "You can do your own shoveling for a while."

The U.S. military spends about $250 million a year to operate Keflavik
It's staggering how much money we waste. If there was one credible threat to this area... maybe. But there clearly is no rational reason to base there permanently.

Iceland could put out the welcome mat for Muslims, and we'd be back before you could say Jihad.
