Invade Germany.

Shit, we already have the 1st Armored Division sitting in the heart of the country.

Cry.

Both Deutschland and Nippon have publically held discussions about whether or not they need American troops in their country anymore. That that can even happen is better proof thanthe Iraq fiasco that the sun is setting on the American empire.

The nations the US conquered and occupied two generations ago are seriously considering sending American troops away - as soon as they actually do you'll know that the American Empire has fallen.

Fallen? Nah. We'll just let them do what they please.

And the next time some tin-pot dictator gets it into his head to screw with them, "Hey, you're on your own, pal."

Let 'em get the shit conquered out of them by Kim Jong or whomever finally decides to go on the warpath. Then we come back hard and strong as we ever did, and they go "Oh shits... We needed those American barbarians to man the gates! Please come back and help us, American Barbarians! (We like your soldiers' money, too!)

Must have missed that discussion. Actually, we cry everytime a base is closed, since they bring jobs and money.
I won't dispute that there are same german loonies out there who can't think straight and think pride is better than a roasted goose at christmas.

Oh, while I typed, an admin admonition. How to get back to SR

Military Bases are a good example how exterri..(damn, forget how to write that word) works. Hm, this try was not good enough

Incidentally, shouldn't the Headline for this thread be: Sometimes I just don't understand

Personally, I've never really gotten into the SR novels. So I guess I don't really care what language they're in.
I don't really have much of an opinion, but at least it's SR-related. :-)

Clearly, we just have to publish more Shadowrun novels about the CAS military, to bring it full circle.

Johnny Reb squinted through the glare of the table lamp, leaning in so close to Mr Brackhaus that his breath condensed on the stoic man's dark lenses. "You sure you wanna be askin' us to leave, fella?"

Mr Brackhaus smiled, a cold, dragon-like smile, and replied ... something in German. Curse you, FanPro!

"YEE-HAW!" shouted Luke, the dwarf rigger, as he drove his custom Nightsky across the bridge. "That damn ork will never catch us now, Bo!" His elven companion grinned maniacally as he pulled another Narcojet arrow from a quiver on the seat beside him, and fired back at the patrolling Lone Star cop.

Suddenly, on the road ahead, appeared their worst nemesis. Hogg the Troll, in his pressed white suit, stood dead center in the road, braced for impact.


Wait, you said CAS military. Nevermind.

I am so learning German so I can submit this as a proposal for the next novel. Heck, I'm only 3 generations removed from living in Germany, so I think I can pull it off!
