Can't Germany do that?There are there to keep an eye on Russia.
Do you have any idea how few troops we have stationed in Germany now, as compared to during the Cold War?

I get that point but then I think why do we need to be there in a day? Maybe the EU or Germany, or Brittian should ramp their defenses at their own expense to make sure they can last long enough for us to get there and save them.It is a staging point in Europe. It isn't about Germany it is about the USA's interests in the world. Or do you think we can move tons of material and personal over to that area in a day?????? Learn something about logistics and strategic staging.
China needs a staging point in the Western hemisphere. We should toltolerate China occupying the U.S.?
As far as I am concerned we all ready do tolerate China's occupation of very strategic part of the Western Hemisphere... This fellow owns the Panama Canal...

Seriously. WTF are we still doing in Germany?
For how many decades must Germany atone for the sins of prior generations before it is allowed complete autonomy?
Our military should GET THE FUCK OUT. (and save us a bunch of money in the process)
Free Germany NOW!!

Why do WE have to project power and have forces in Europe to protect our allies? Do they have forces here to protect us? Do other NATO countries or other allies have staging bases in the Western hemisphere for re-supply?To conduct operations around the world, to 'project power', and to be ready to protect allies, bases are needed around the world. We have one of the best hospitals in Europe there, NATO HQ, staging bases for re-supply, etc...
We protect them, but they don't protect us. We throw money at them for defense, and we get.....what out of the deal?
It sounds like they need us WAY more than we need them. In fact, it sounds like they need us, and we DON'T need them. Why are we contributing ANYTHING?
THIS is the ultimate point of my OP.
I spent the summer of 1967 on the Fluda Gap. Two observations:
The Germans both hated us and loved us at the same time.
Most young German girls were short miniskirts and were cute as hell.
My biddy used to live in germany and said it was so sexually laid back it was crazy. He said his mom would have to cover his eyes walking down the street lolI spent the summer of 1967 on the Fluda Gap. Two observations:

So.....
Based on all the responses, the reason provided as to why we need to have troops occupying Germany can be summed up as follows:
The World Police
They occupy your land
The World Police
Don't try to take a stand
The World Police
They're gonna arrest your country
Oh no
I don’t know. How many would we need?I get that point but then I think why do we need to be there in a day?

It's called forward deployment, it's a deterrent against Russian aggression in all of Europe. Do some reading on US military strategy.

So we side with Adolf Hitler to oppose Joseph Stalin? Oh, yeah, I suppose we were on the wrong side of WWII. How could I forget that? So stupid of me!
