If US President Donald Trump is serious, 5,000 US soldiers could be withdrawn from Germany. This would include the Stryker Brigade in Vilseck. The town is in shock.

    Including US soldiers and their relatives living there, Vilseck has less than 7000 citizens.

    So, sure… it would be highly impactful for a totally irrelevant vilage. Which is sad for a few people but entirely irrelevant nationally.

    And I’m really sick of all the stories making it seem as anyone but some tiny villages and districts are interested in US military presence.

      I feel empathetic for them but they had it coming. Troop withdrawal has been debated for decades. They knew very well it was a question of when, not if Americans will go home.
