You are correct in believing that I want our ground forces almost entirely withdrawn from Europe. I've served in the US Army Europe and came away unimpressed. They've no mission and many of USAREUR's mid and senior level officers greatly enjoy their tours in what is derisively referred to as The Imperial Seventh Army for its penchant for ignoring guidance from the Pentagon and going its own way. Our European committment is amply served by an air and naval presence. The expense of maintaining an Army in Europe cannot, IMHO, be justified. The 2/3rds of 2 divisions in Germany should be brought home - the sooner the better.
Unfortunately, the other areas do NOT have the Fulda Gap road net in place--and without roads, Crusader is logistically unsupportable. (The Crusader and its ammunition resupply vehicle may have amazing cross-country mobility, but the trucks to haul the ammo to the forward logistics points do not, and neither do the fuel trucks.)
