>>Germany announced they were going to downsize the military and only use military for peace keeping<< regarding the Bruxelles meeting, one unnamed German top brass said "it was the right idea only at the wrong time". What has been ignored, were agreements on common logicstics, sea defence etc. This way hopefully more money will be left in Germany for instance, for hardware (transport planes have to be paid too, not just ordered for instance)and in general to adjust the structure of the armed forces in such a way that peace missions will be easier to take on and support.

>>pulling troops out of Germany<< I know for sure the number of places is being cut down. Fact is, 50 years after the end of WWII and 1o+ years after the fall of the wall, Germany is not a peace problem anymore. GIs (and the accompanying local jobs) are needed more elsewhere.
