No matter who wins the German elections, Germany is still occupied
While there was some talk by the SPD and Greens against the US war with Iraq, Germany remains the largest US military outpost. With 70,000+ US troops can Germany even really be considered its own country? There are protests in Japan and Puerto Rico against US occupation, but are there any such protests in Germany?
Below are listed the deployments in countries, and in seas, where the U.S. maintains at least 100 troops.
