i remember from my childhood how hundreds of thousands of people went on the streets to demonstrate against nuclear weapons (Pershing 2) that the US wanted to station in Germany against Russia
but we have 2013 and according to Wikipedia there's only one place left where nuclear weapons are stored (thanks to Wikileaks we know about that now) and even those are supposed to be returned soon.
and lets not forget - the US and Germany are NATO allies - not opponents

i got a lot closer with the post i made above re: euro defense spending and nato, illustrating the lack of germany resources spent on defense, not even the required 2%. and also the lack of ability in the libya crisis.
not saying we don't have interests we are interesting in protecting over there, but the fact is the fact, europe can't defend itself by itself.
