Time to pull our forces out of Germany? Even Stoiber said he would not permit Germany to be used as a base for operations against Iraq. Perhaps we should start a steady redeployment of our ground forces out of Germany. If we want to keep a presence in Europe, I'm sure Poland or Hungary would love to have them.

It's way past time to bring our forces home from Germany. I believe we have 26 bases in Germany and something on the order of 75,000 GIs and their dependents. We maintain hospitals, schools, PXs, etc., all at huge expense. The Army, which has had no real mission in Europe since the end of the Cold War, should close up shop in Germany and return to the US. We already have an air base at Taszar, Hungary. The Hungarians are thrilled we're there and I'm less inclined to want to shut down expensive to duplicate Air Force bases than Army installations anyway.
