And I was all like 'Oh yeah?' and JooJooFlop was all like:
Are you still in Germany? If so, is that plan to bring home some 170,000 servicemen and their families from Europe and Asia affecting you in any way?
Think it was mainly going to be the 1st Infantry and 1st Armored from Germany, which is Army units I think.

I also heard it would take years to accomplish the plan anyway. You don't just up and leave with a division or two. So likely the natural order of the military would probably have him leaving during that time anyway.
My own experience can provide a perfect example of this: It's 1979 and Disco is in it's death throes. Except in Greece where young two-striper Airman Callalron has just been assigned to Hellenikon AB. Some of the older hands tell him not to count on finishing his entire 18 month tour of duty there, since the Greeks are hot to trot to toss our American asses out of the Birthplace of Democracy. 18 months later he boards the Freedom Bird back to the states. 9 YEARS later, now Technical Sgt Callalron has been going back to Greece on a yearly basis for the last 3 years to perform Staff Assistance visits and drinking in a lot of his old hang outs. And it took a couple MORE years before we finally left that base for good.
Nobody's going anywhere soon, unless it's their normal scheduled move time.
This has been in the works for years, though, and makes good sense; our main threat is no longer the Soviet hordes pouring through the Fulda Gap, after all.
Some of the rhetoric is pretty funny, though.
