Not likely, but what is highly likely over the next four years is the movement
of European based US forces east and southeast. Naval, Air and land forces will
move closer to where the action is (Asia) and in return for huge investment
(bases need to be modernized) they'll find a more accepting population, better
training spaces and much more cooperative governments. I think we'll keep some
of the headquartersin western Europe, but every other uniformed US personel
will leave where they are currently stationed. Should be interesting.

Roger that. I was a bit upset when I posted the above, but while my language may
have been intemperate, my position is the same. I guess I need to be more accurate
with my definition of "Europe", I have no problem with US troops in Poland, etc, but
Germany, France, Belgium, etc should never again see a US Soldier on their
soil, or cooperating with their "forces".
