No, they only pulled out of the security accords, they stayed in NATO
as a hanger on. They only rejoined the security accords when it became
clear that the US had won the cold war.

That's what NATO always needed, more freeloaders. NATO appears to be a
military Ponzi scheme.

"Interestingly, we started to lose this war only after the embedded
reporters pulled out. Back when we got the news directly from Iraq,
there was victory and optimism. Now that the news is filtered through
the mainstream media here in America, all we hear is death and
destruction and quagmire..." Ann Coulter
