Today, they are in Saddam’s palace in the Green Zone in a country west of where Elmat seats right. Man Bush will have a hard time bringing those troops home!!! When I was in the military in the late 70s and early 80s Germany was where almost all of the guys I was training with wanted to go or at least have a tour. (Followed by England and Spain..) I think one would be very hard pressed to find many guys who really wanted to go to Iraq. The risk to Americans in Germany from 1946 till now from terrorists was basically nil, you were much more likely to die in a traffic accident.. that can not be said about Iraq now.. or quite likely 5 years from now. As for the necessity of US troops in Germany.. the Soviet invasions of Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968, the building of the Berlin wall in Kennedy's first year didn't really build much trust in the Soviets.. now if you were to say US troops are still in Europe more than 15 years after the fall of the Berlin wall because of your aforementioned reasons.. I would say that's partially correct.
