There are 36,000 US troops in Germany and Donald Trump is cutting that number by 5,000.
We spoke to some GIs about the plan. 'It'll be great to get home,' said Dwayne Lydd. 'The beer here tastes awful and not like Bud Lite at all. Although I must admit that the beer glasses are a good size. The sausages are not like proper hot dogs, all big and chewy. I think there's way too much meat on them. And European mustard is all wrong and too hot. So it will be good to get home for some proper chow.'
Base commander Todd Perch told us that it was hard to keep 36,000 soldiers occupied. 'There's only so many times you can clean the parade ground with a toothbrush. And nobody likes German lessons. And the market for sending BMWs back to the US has crashed since Trump's tariffs. So, to be honest, many of our boys are at a loose end.
'There's no real threat any more. Putin couldn't get to Kyiv by road, so the chances of the Red Army making it through Belarus and Poland are pretty slim. And all of his tanks are tied up in Ukraine. So I think that Germany will be just fine without us. They need some incentive to re-arm, anyway. Fourth Reich, anyone?'
