Since WWII we have kept the entire Euro continent safe. Trillions poured into rebuilding Europe, rebuilding everything from lives to buildings, rails, roads, bridges, and chicken houses. I served nearly 10 years in West Germany. I went to the two major military training bases in Germany, Grafenwöhr and Hoenfels, twice each. All four times I spent a month to six weeks each trip down. I was in the 2/14th Armored Cav Regiment, later redesignated the 2/11th ACR. In each trip, I NEVER saw more than 25 West German soldiers around the major troop area we were in. We all shared the same canteen (the drinking hall type), we, the Germans, Brits, some French. Those are the only nationalities I saw there. There were fewer Brits and few Frogs. The USA carried the load. We were the ones who would have fought and died to protect millions of people, most of didn’t give a tinkers damned about us. The frogs loathed us, the Brits were okay. But, in all my 10 years in Germany, in dealing with Germans, both off and on duty, I would give them a C- overall grade. For each really nice German I met, I met 10 Germans who did not like Americans. Most didn’t want us there, but knew if we left they would be speaking Russian within a week. They preferred the good life under Americans there than the Soviets. I actually experienced a German tell me they did not want us there. I told him fine, I’ll go home, you defend your own country. But, yeah, now they hate us more, but need us more and the current Soviet in charge is killing and bombing his way around and wants his old Soviet Union back and seems intent on trying to accomplish just that. Trump would stop him, but Deadbrain Joe would let him and say it was Trump’s fault.
We made Europe safe for Socialism.
it's hard to like someone who, within recent memory, has kicked your @$$.
