T. Stahl,
I pretty much agree with everyone else who suggests we can draw down our commitments in Germany now that the Red Horde is unlikely to come pouring through the Fulda Gap. There's really no need to keep heavy divisions there any longer. If anything, due to our probable long-term commitments in the Near East, we should look for an island in the Med to lease depot facilities on.
But while our troops are there, they are bound by the civil laws of their host nation. As M67 pointed out, an FFL in the US can't sell a visiting 18 year-old German troop a handgun.
Does a serviceman from Vermont stationed in California get to follow Vermont gun laws while there?
