#1 Every base will be like living on base in West Germany in the 80's.

#2 I'm curious -- is that good or bad? I'm not mil/ex-mil so I don't know.

#3 There were bombings and base infil a-lot back then.

Well, it sure changes how you view your life where you live when you are Military. Civilian clothes only off base, no stickers, quiet family life off post, Rapid reaction forces and family evac plans, alert rosters, the regular.

What is different is instead of being overseas and trying to keep your identity quiet, you now do it at home.

There is surveillance on Service members abroad and apparently at home now.

#4 Scratch the veneer off some Muslims & you'll find a jihadi. Technique is as old as death to apostates / blasphemers / infidels / uppity wimmen / etc.

#5 We need to reevaluate our foreign bases based on current need and not the needs of the 50s. A big base with hospital in Perth might be more useful than bases in Germany and Europe for example.
