    I thought we had many more troops on our 98 square miles of Cyprus...
    It was not theirs to reason why,
    It was not theirs to make reply,
    It was theirs but to do or die.

    Now i wonder whether I should feel invaded and found a freedom fighter-organization to throw the british occupants out of Germany.

    Nah, you´re always welcome.


    Also, German troops are in many countries as well, makes me curious ehther I can find some similar map...



    there it is, from an official German army homepage.

    This tells me two things:

    1. you brits are not alone.

    2. I´m happy that our army tries to use my tax money to help people in other countries to live in peace. They have nothing to do here most of the time anyway, so instead of sitting around they can go and get some experience and try to help others, even if that costs more than sitting around.

    There´s also some PDF in german with some numbers if anyone cares.

    Well, all in all, except for the mess you created in Iraq I don´t really see why you should have a problem.

    So the US and UK both have significant amounts of troops in Germany. Do other nations have a significant presence in Germany as well ?

    Probably most of the other NATO countried keep a force stationed in Germany, but it's mainly British and American troops stationed there.

    Well, some Arabs consider them imperialist occupiers, we consider them friends.
    No problem with friends in our country. Actually I didn´t know they were so many, I cannot remember seeing any in uniform, maybe I live too far away from their bases.
