From The Hill Newspaper,
Trump orders withdrawal of 5,000 troops from Germany amid feud with Merz.
I did the math and the war in Europe ended 80 years ago this month. Why are our troops still there?
The Hill portrays the move as one taken out of spite. My view would be that it’s decades overdue.
The Hill reports,
The redeployment of troops will bring the number of service members roughly to pre-2022 levels and will affect a brigade combat team and potentially other U.S. forces already in Germany, according to a senior Pentagon official.
“Pre-2022 levels”? When are we going to get down to pre-1945 levels?
