9,500 US Troops Leaving Germany?

Yes.  Some will be sent into Poland, and some filtered to a few other locations around Europe, with the majority going back to the US.

What's left?  25,000 roughly. 

Shocker for the Chancellor?  I doubt it.  I think she speculated this would occur and it's part of the new 'era'. 

Lets face the matter....Russia isn't a threat, and the general cost of this defense 'pattern' doesn't make a lot of sense. 

If there was a shocker?  The schedule spoken about is that all 9,500 would exit by late September of this year.   Locations?  One note brought up a F-16 squadron, which there would indicate Spangdahem being part of this, but it wouldn't close because there would still be two squadrons there.  The Army units are not mentioned, and I kinda doubt that it'll be the Wiesbaden area. 

The odds that if Trump wins in November....that the remainder would leave by 2024?  That's probably worth a discussion, but lets just wait and see.
