Feel like a sucker yet? Both parties want to use our troops as low-paid mercenaries, both want to open the flood gates to immigrants, and both want to keep enriching themselves and funneling money to businesses and other countries using taxpayer funds.

Germany is committing suicide by Islam. Nothing we can do about that.

He is quite wrong as far as German public opinion goes, if I remember correctly.

I spent some time in Germany. Nice place but they have no need for our military nowadays. Of course if they want to pay for everything it takes to keep an army there, I guess we could negotiate.

Screw these soulless two faced immoral feminine mofos who thought themselves as a princess race.

When invading Iraq I was in Germany and they kept moralizing me for toppling a Nazi regime in Bagdad directly manufactured by runaway German war criminals who were busy encouraging Saddam to rid Iraq of all jews.

RE: Germany: U.S. soldiers are still welcome here

And speaking of US Soldiers, what ever happened to the news of the RAID on the Scytl servers in Germany?

Darn, the entire “news” was never confirmed by any German source and seems to have disappeared in a hole somewhere.

WAS THAT FAKE NEWS?

All our troops in Germany should be re-deployed to the Mexican border.

That’s wonderful! My father told me that they weren’t welcomed very well at all when the last time he and his Army buddies were over there.

Germany needs to change. They no longer have the post WW2 and Iron Curtain need for US soldiers. Russian tanks will not roll into Germany. Russia will bury Germany by economic and asymmetric warfare. Think gas pipeline and Ukraine.

Get them the hell out. Those freeloaders can pay for their own defense.

Of course US soldiers are welcome in Germany. Each US soldier means 1 less German soldier Germany has to pay for, not to mention the equipment, training and all other associated expenses required to maintain a US fighting force in Germany.

They need to start defending themselves.

Yes, the Germans want our money, but they hate us anyway and treat US troops with scorn. They can go pound sand.

Once all the Germans were warlike and mean,
But that couldn’t happen again.
We taught them a lesson in 1918
And they’ve hardly bothered us since then.
