"news.verizon.net" wrote in news:yH5_i.4198$cD.2577@trndny08: 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? Bertie |

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? |

On the other hand Nikita Khrushchev said, "We will bury you!" |
