The only ground force unit that should remain in Europe is the 173rd Airborne.

I think you don't know a whole lot about where troops are station over there. We have three bases in Spain. Two airforce and one navy. Also had several communication sites. Both air bases have runways large enough for BUFF's. And one is the emergency landing spot for the shuttle. Are is Spain not in europe.

When did we build bases in Spain? I didnt know we even had them there.

I guess you don't know how to read. I said the only ground force unit that should remain is the 173rd. The 173rd Airborne is a US Army paratroop unit. Air Force and Naval bases don't count as ground force units. If you reread my post you'll see that I mentioned I thought we should leave our Air Force elements in Europe to satisfy our NATO obligation.
