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.

stupid OBAMA
Obama would appoint Hitler if he was still alive !
Could the German Chancellor be worse that Cry Baby Boehner?
How is this possible if he is not a U.S. citizen? Will he be a U.S. citizen when he is done serving our military?
Could be a creepy Rob Lowe.
WTF
Obama is working on the downfall of America !!
What?????
He is giving us away. Mexico now Germany
This article isn’t accurate. The German officer was appointed Chief of Staff of USAEUR, but the Chief of Staff is NOT the Commander, nor is he “in charge of” US forces. He merely serves as an allied advisor to the commander — US Army LTG Campbell. This is not the first time a foreigner has held a similar position. I think the Chief of Staff of U.S. Army Pacific is an Australian officer and has been for a few years now.
