SDI Strategic Defense Initiative. An older name for National Missile Defense (now I am showing my age..)

I KNOW that the US government has given the security promise to us in the 1950´s (to prevent us from building own nukes), and it was repeated several times. Therefore, I still believe that this guarantee is valid.

It is. Is the belief in Germany that we have to keep bases there to keep that promice? Just trying to understand.

Uhhm. I don´t know. I´m not the average-informed citizen, I´m a bit more familiar to the military branch.

But I would say that the vast majority of people here will understand a massive pullout of US forces (since our government reduces number of soldiers and bases, too). From what I have heard, some bases (in particular Ramstein) will be kept. It is not unfavourable to have strategic bases for air supply/air attack.
