Why are their troops still in Germany? Still guarding the wall?  That whole East Germany thing was kind of cool. It was a great feature of the Cold War.

When I was in, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was a staging area of sorts. My unit was a quick reactionary force that had a sister fleet of tanks mothballed in Germany. If something should happen, hey just sent us by plane. The equipment was already there. It was meant for an attack by the Soviet Union. We  were set to go to the Mideast during the Yom Kippur war, but it was over before we had a chance to go.  I really don't know why we're there now.
