The plans to close many bases in Germany was in the works long before Germany's refusal to help us in Iraq.

I know and it´s understandable. Unfortunately, the ´right´ states will be affected by that. Everyone will understand that the DoD sees no sense in keeping so many GI´s in a country that is surrounded by friends. What I will not accept is, when the US take back their security guarantee they gave us (defending our territory with nukes in case of an attack with NBC-weapons), but that is definitely not going to happen.
