There has been talk of this ever since the Cold War 'ended'. Glad to see it actually put into action. I've seen some news sources reporting how Germany is worrying about the drawback, due to economic reasons. Duh, when you have 70,000+ troops leaving a single country, it's going to have an impact. But it's not going to happen overnight, it'll take a decade or so to drawback the 100,000 or so troops stationed in Europe.

Also, not all of them are coming 'home'. While many may return to the States, some may simply re-deploy to "forward operating locations" in southern and eastern Europe (makes sense with all of the activity in that region and closeby in Southwest Asia and the Middle East).

What kills me is that Kerry is whining about it! C'mon, get some common sense JFK.
