    And I asked you for your definition. I know how to use Google Jorge Jr too (all of those things I brought up, where things I already knew, but I did use Google to give you the specific details that were founded within like 3 minutes, so it's ironic that you attack me for not using Google while you fail to use it yourself), so yet again... what is counted as a 'military installation' and why?

    It's not my job to establish something you should have known before you spouted nonsense about it. Learn to Google.
    Poor Roy, so frustrated that his assertions are failing him that he needs to delete large parts of my post (you know, the parts that prove him wrong), to make himself feel more right. Keep going Jorge Jr and remember, never admit you're wrong about anything! So do we maintain bases and forces in Germany, Japan, and Italy due to agreements and treaties with those countries, yes or no? Did the formal western allied occupation of Germany, Japan, and Italy end 60 years ago and did we sign agreements with these countries to establish our forces there? Yes or no? Keeps foaming at the mouth because unlike you, I actually am part of the US military and know these things exist because I had this stuff told to me over and over again about how important it was to behave and follow local laws. Remember, don't admit you're wrong about anything, no matter what Jorge Jr.

          Still cutting away parts that prove you wrong, eh Jorge Jr?

            So why are you talking about things you know nothing about? We have treaties in place establishing our bases in Germany, Japan, and Italy along with SOFA's in place establishing agreements of how our military members will behave and what will happen if we don't. In fact, we have agreed to close bases in those countries too (one of the most famous examples being Rhein-Main AB). If you're going to start going off about how 'wrong' I am, it would do you a load of good to actually know the material before you try to talk about it.
            I didn't say you were wrong. My point to Roy was, if you were wrong, you'd never admit it - as my experiences with you go.

            Secondly, who cares about treaties? What's the damn point strategically in having a base in Germany?

              To stop the Nazis, obviously.

              And it's not just one base in Germany, it's 21-38 depending on who's counting them.

                  No. You have agreements in place that maintain your military presence in those countries. US military presence in those countries was established by invasion during WWII.

                    That's because I talk about things I know and don't talk about things I don't know. In the case of military forces agreements between the US and other countries, I know a lot about these because I've had to live with them for the past 12 years.

                    Secondly, who cares about treaties? What's the damn point strategically in having a base in Germany?
                    Ummm perhaps because Germany is centrally located in Europe and has quick access to most of Europe,by land and by air? You are aware that US military hospitals, established in Germany, saved American lives that would have been lost, if they had to be flown to the US for treatment? I also find it rather amusing how people rant about these US bases and point out how few other countries have, while apparently ignoring that other NATO allies use these bases too. My point? There's reasons these bases exist and they exist not because the US enjoy's maintaining all of these bases, but because they serve a purpose (in fact, we've closed hundreds of them over the past 25 years).

                        No, just not wasting my time on someone who is too stupid to Google.

                            And this comes from the same person that couldn't be bothered to check a population density map? That's pretty dang funny, but I suppose when you're losing and losing badly, any shelter in a storm will due.
