A German Army General has been appointed to Chief of Staff of U.S. Army Europe. This is the first time a non-U.S. officer has held this position.
I’ll do it.
That is probably his end goal.
Herr Generalstaboffiziere Oberst i.G.
Good question. I don’t know how personnel greet (salute?) an officer of another Country?
No, this is unprecedented. What other countries have any foreign officers in such a position over US forces?
Any day now. They hit hard from the day he was elected. One term survivable, but two terms of this and he still has over two more years?
If it is just a “grunt, ceremonial type position”, why have it? Have an official liaison position so everyone is clear. I can make coffee, type, answer the phone.....
Why not when we give Central Americans free room and board and flat screen TV’s? Troops are next. Chinese troops on U.S. Soil, blah blah blah.. Agenda 21, NWO, World Government BS. No borders anywhere, just one big happy family. This is serious.
HOOOGAAAN!
Looks like we are going to sit back and allow that. I can see very little reason to vote anymore. They have stacked the deck and are moving fast with it before most realize what is going on. This was done by force and lies.
I agree being in Europe we need liaison, but they made a point about this being “Chief of Staff” and “first non-American” to do so.
For all the Koreans? I seem to recall a certain “Juche” regime there since the 50s. If “Americans don’t lose”, then Kim Il-sung should have died in a US military prison, preferably by execution. And the Mao regime should have lasted only a few months after they dared to attack US forces—but then Truman made the error of firing MacArthur.
A losing side is a losing side. Numbers tell nothing of the story, nor does technological level. It’s not “quite a beating” if your opponent gets up and finishes you off.
I would think so and also know about troop movements, specifics, and classified info/intel?
The real danger is that 0bama screws up again and causes another diplomatic incident with Germany such as bugging Merkel’s new cell phone and running a spy ring against Germany.
Now a German is in a prominent position (of pride). They’ll be pissed if 0bama treats him improperly...and 0bama doesn’t know how to treat anyone properly.
got it, but had to google the urban dictionary. lol
I know. It is such an odd decision. It makes zero sense.
Liaisons are used a lot - usually well respected, and pose minimal security risk.
Then again - the Administration rarely show sense.
You have a point. We should be surprised by nothing this Administration does.
I have to google. I saw a pic of a dude saying “hooogaaan”?
They have hit us like machine-gun-fire. So rapid that we will get tired of fighting. I despise this Administration.
Hmmm ... no bio out there on the guy yet ...
