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.

Obama should be up on treason charges.
This is humiliating to staff and places a commander who doesn’t have to answer to the UCMJ in charge of our troops. Think about that for a moment. If there is any truth to the charges from Berlin of conducting illegal operations off German soil, then the commander cannot be held accountable by the UCMJ. It also gives Obama plausible deniability provided our European soldiers get caught exercising outside their guidelines.
All the fears of having foreign soldiers in charge are becoming true. What re-assurance does this give the populace when he just handed our European operations over to Germany? Joint exercises are one thing, but this is grounds for down right Mutiny.
Wait a minute….German???? what the heck???
I CANT BELIEVE THIS .!!! FOREIGN military in CHARGE of our troops , can someone tell me the advantage of this ???????????
There were several times during WWI and WWII American troops were placed under command of a foreign commander.
