There is an old Pilgrim's proverb that says, "Your debts and your sins are greater than you think." This surely applies to Germany. Socialism has ruled in that country, in one form or another, for over 120 years. Now, the destiny of socialism has occurred--bankruptcy in assets and spirit.

It is time the US reduce its military presence in Germany. If the Germans can't pull their share of the load in NATO, why should the US be expected to protect their sorry posteriors.

The army's focus in the coming years would be "far beyond our borders".

You can focus anywhere you want to, but three guys with slingshots and subway tokens ain't a-gonna get there.

Germany out of NATO now!!!

The President should tell Shroeder if Germany reduces military spending that we will pull all of our troops from his country. Heck, we should anyway. Without the Soviet threat, why should we protect these socialist-enviro-wackos, while they attack our every move in the war against terror.

Germany as a country is headed south. Their socialist welfare state is a millstone around their neck. Of course the fear is another monster will promise the Germans an easy way out if they give him complete power.
