    Default Fuchs- US leave Europe?

    Fuchs,

    Should the US pull all military bases out of Europe and redeploy home?

    Maybe some depots for (old) equipment in Western Poland (~Reforger) would be a good thing, as well as U.S. personnel in NATO institutions and as liaison or exchange personnel.

    Everything else is needlessly expensive in my opinion.


    The presence in the Mediterranean should go simply in order to largely prohibit entanglements in BS that happens there.

    I don't think that "redeploy home" is a good idea. The forces have to shrink. head first, then logistics, then transition of active formations to reserve or NG.
    A big military tells politicians that they have a big stick, and history shows that they become bullies who begin needless brawls since they believe that they'll win the fight easily.
