For the first time in our nation’s history, a foreign commander is in charge of US forces.
Obama has appointed German Army Brig. Gen. Markus Laubenthal to serve as the chief of staff of USAREUR (U. S. Army in Europe) headquarters in Wiesbaden, Germany, who took command at the end of August 2014.
One German official stated that this would likely be the first of many such exchanges.

We need to disband the U.N. and keep American Officers in charge of our troops!
old news… we have needed the un to save us for sooo long….
OMGosh No !
Laubenthal won’t have disciplinary authority over U.S. personnel;
He will not be able to represent the command outside of the command on his own;
He won’t command U.S. forces;
He won’t have access to U.S. law-enforcement information, diplomatic communications, information related to U.S. theater security objectives and a range of other information; and
He will have access to classified information that has been cleared for disclosure. THEN WHY BOTHER?
Rayther it hom than the President
If people knew who has been seated at un we would abstain some of the worlds worst dictators
So what? US military formations were under general blamey in WW2. Why should it ALWAYS be a one way street?
FUNNY aint this un CONSTITUTIONAL
Yep… We read and posted about that…He’s the First of Many to be placed in Charge of United Nation Military Units consisting of United States Military Personnel within those Units. No one is suggesting that He Personally will be Commanding U S Combat Units.. It’s a Chain of Command thing… Hut … 2… 3…4…
