God I wish you could have spent just one weekend in my shoes as a company commander in Germany.

You would never utter those words above ever again.

I agree with most of this but we should still be pals with Japan. They hate China more than we do.

In the realm of incentives, where, in your experience, does serving overseas rank?

I always find it amusing how people think the US is the most racist country on earth. Tells me right away they've never been to Asia. Or Africa.

I'll even give him bonus points if he's actually served, much less served overseas.

Well over 80% of the United States military is permanently stationed in the states.

Let Europe fight Europe’s battles since they apparently feel no need to support them who have protected them for some 100 plus years.


With the massive muz immigration...and infiltration into their govt and support of officials who defend the immigrants...Europe has been conquered. They should have no access to our support or bases/aircraft/munitions there considering what happened in afghanistan.

Good for you. I'll never forget the experience of watching Brit girls fawning over our enlisted guys' accents in local pubs. It was my first experience outside the Americas, and it had absolutely zero to do with my signing on. That is why I asked you the question I did.

Well it had a lot to do with me signing, I was guarantied being stationed in Germany as my first assignment, your reason for serving and mine are likely the same, the intricate details my differ, when i joined the main concern was the cold war with the Soviet Union, yea I'm getting old.

Good. We aren’t the world’s police.

Another brilliant move by DJT.


Unless it's Venezuela, Iran, and maybe Cuba.
