Can we all agree that Germany no longer needs U.S. Occupation?

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Seriously. WTF are we still doing in Germany?

For how many decades must Germany atone for the sins of prior generations before it is allowed complete autonomy?

Our military should GET THE FUCK OUT. (and save us a bunch of money in the process)




Free Germany NOW!!

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change

I try my best to avoid taking a stance until hearing the facts. Does Germany want us out? What military services do our German bases support? Does getting out also refer to the military hospital there and if so, how would that effect care of our injured?

As I understand it, Germans want us out. I am sure arrangements can be made to have hospital support there.

It is a staging point in Europe. It isn't about Germany it is about the USA's interests in the world. Or do you think we can move tons of material and personal over to that area in a day?????? Learn something about logistics and strategic staging.

Is that the magic of them TWICE trying to take over the world and once trying to commit genocide?

Our troops are not there to keep an eye on the a Germans lest they revert to Nazism. There are there to keep an eye on Russia. I doubt the Germans want us out anyway. Our troops help their economy.

And, that is the real issue. Why do we need a staging point in Europe? world police?

China needs a staging point in the Western hemisphere. We should toltolerate China occupying the U.S.?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

There are there to keep an eye on Russia.

Can't Germany do that?

 

[Care4all]

we're not there for Germany...

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

we're not there for Germany...

Well, that's awful kind of us to squat in their country for 3/4 a centery to satisfy our interests elsewhere.

I get that point but then I think why do we need to be there in a day? Maybe the EU or Germany, or Brittian should ramp their defenses at their own expense to make sure they can last long enough for us to get there and save them.

not really, they owe us bigtime, for saving them from a lifetime of Hitler, and then Ronnie....tearing down their wall and destroying the Soviet Bloc...

are you from Russia Bootney?

 

[Care4all]

it isn't just protecting the EU,

Europe is also much closer to the middle east and northern Africa for us to deploy from if there was a need....

our NATO forces reside in Europe as well....I lived on a NATO base in Northern Italy for 3 years....actually it was only an Air Force ''Station'' when I lived there but it has grown in to a huge Air Force Base, while other bases there have been closed or minimized.

our military has closed several bases in all of Europe in previous spending cuts.... and maybe there is room for more consolidation, but we will never leave completely.

Because it isnt about them it is about US having the means to stop something quickly before it comes here..... Logistics.

This is probably the first time in history where the country that's occupied provide better life condiions in general than the occupier's country men and women.
I can add Japan to do except they are workaholics.

As far as I am concerned we all ready do tolerate China's occupation of very strategic part of the Western Hemisphere... This fellow owns the Panama Canal...

Some great points have been made regarding the U.S. Military and the deployment of Troops and TO&E throughout the world... It's like leaving your house doors unlocked and the keys in your transportation... Sooner or later someone is going to fuck with you and if your not prepared... Sorry about your luck...

that's right....Wiesbaden Army Base in Germany is there and the BIG Hospital! I've been there many times....to see the Dentist and when I was sick....the AF Station in Italy had an AIRVAC hospital plane that flew there once a week on schedule or on emergency with whoever needed a Doctor or to see a dentist/Orthodontist....

Capos need to keep an eye on their interests. Police answer to a court.
