Have you totally lost it? Your troops are still there not because they
are needed to maintain peace and freedom, but because forward bases close to (what used to be) the enemy can't be had any cheaper than in previously occupied country. Man, you really need a reality check... Thomas, we are giving them back, slowly, aren't we? We realize the Europeans no longer need our help and assistance in returning to prosperity We've are moving on now. We have made new friends in the Middle East recently. We are now helping them regain their prosperity. They have generously granted us access to rebuild their airfields, and infrastructure. Once they have achieved an appropriate level of success, we will find new friends who want our help. (Very tongue in cheek!) ;-)) |

John,
I like your style ;-) Thomas, we are giving them back, slowly, aren't we? We realize the Europeans no longer need our help and assistance in returning to prosperity We've are moving on now. We have made new friends in the Middle East recently. We are now helping them regain their prosperity. They have generously granted us access to rebuild their airfields, and infrastructure. Once they have achieved an appropriate level of success, we will find new friends who want our help. In short: The Russians are gone, the Arabs are here. And Japan and Korea turn out to have just extended their useful life. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

I lived with my great aunt and worked as a praktikant for a year in Germany. (Firme Albert Siebdruck Fabrik, Frankenthal, Rhineland Pfalz) I worked and played with Germans and other immigrants when I lived there. I spoke German the entire time I lived there. I had some very interesting political discussions with my relatives and my co-workers and teammates when I lived there. It was an education I would not have received in this country. I remember asking one of my co-workers what he thought about the American military still being in Germany. His response was, "Better than the Russians." |
