Trump pulling troops out of Germany

[scarletwoman]

10. First of all, no troops have been moved yet - nor will it happen anytime soon.

IF trump ends up getting his way on this, it will present some very complex logistical challenges - it's not just about moving soldiers from one place to another, it also involves buildings, armaments, heavy equipment (maintenance equipment, tanks, planes, helicopters, etc.), and all the rest of the infrastructure that's been built up since 1945.

This is not a matter of waving a wand and suddenly all the soldiers who were in Germany are flying back to the U.S. It will require months of planning to carry out.

In fact, one of the reasons that our overseas bases have remained in place all these years is because closing any of them would present some significant problems in finding employment for all those bodies if they were brought back to the U.S. all at once. It also would leave a significant hole in the local economies where the troops are stationed.

In any case, worrying about troops from Germany being deployed against us here is completely unrealistic.

The only thing any of us need to worry about is making sure we're doing everything we can to vote trump out of the presidency this November.
