Do you have any cite for this? Nothing I can find nor anything
I've heard of before supports this. ( That West Germany paid for
US Military )

Armies Of Occupation are supported by the country being occupied. I
served as a US Army Color Photolab Technician (1960-1962) and all of
our equipment and supplies were provided by the West Germans.


Probably because Germany has long been known for their good
photographic equipment and optics.

FYI, the US ceased being an "Occupier" in the early 1950's, long
before you got there.


The occupation of Berlin ended in 1990. The troops stayed until 1994
and and all their costs were paid by the German tax payer until then.


Very different context (as I mentioned to John Godwin).

Just for kicks, what was to total cost of occuping Berlin compared to the
cost of defending all of Europe?

Wow, ignorance form the European perspective now.


We're having a regualr dumbo orgy of it now!

Let's get down to the dirt.

Is the US budweiser the same company as the Czech Bud?

Which is better?

Less filling?


Matt?

The fact that there were no attacks just proves how good we were at
protecting it.

The fact that no elephants pass through my apartment just proves how effective
my refrigerator is at keeping them out.

So is it your opinion that had the US not sworn to protect Western Europe
during the cold war the USSR would probably still not ever attemped to take
over Western Europe?

I don't know. Would the US have attempted to take over Warsaw Pact countries
if the USSR had not been protecting them?

There is no reason to think we would. On the other hand Nikita Khrushchev
said, "We will bury you!"
