If the Germans can't manage even to contribute 800 guards to protect US bases in Germany (which have protected them for 50 years), then let's close the bases and get out.
(my 2 cents' worth)

I've dealt with the Bundeswehr and I've dealt with private German security firms. For safety and competence, I'd go with the private firms every time.

So why aren't our military personnel guarding our military bases?

Wonder if an American-owned security contractor would even have a chance getting that business?
Down in Kuwait CSA runs the security operation at Camp Doha, and is essentially a free enterprise MP Company. That's what we need in Germany.

Why the hell we even have bases in Germany anymore is beyond my understanding.

If there is a legitimate reason for bases in europe (probably) howz about we move them to Poland? They like and support us, they shower and I would rather them have the cash.

The question is not do we close these bases, but how fast can we close them.
