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.

Awaiting on Snoopes! If it’s true, this would be the beginning of the end of the Republic as we knew it!

“They don’t know that American soldiers are part of NATO structure and subject to be commanded by a foreign officer.
Normandy: Commanded by General (later Field Marshal) Sir Bernard Montgomery, 21st Army Group initially controlled all ground forces in Operation Overlord (the United States First Army and British Second Army). When sufficient American forces had landed, their own 12th Army Group was activated, under General Omar Bradley, and the 21st Army Group was left with the British Second Army and the newly activated First Canadian Army.
Battle of the Bulge: After the capture of Walcheren came the last great German offensive of the war. In a repeat of their 1940 attack, German formations smashed through weak Allied lines in the Ardennes in Belgium.
The Battle of the Bulge presented a command problem to General Eisenhower. It had sliced through US lines, leaving some American formations north and south of the new German salient. However, the headquarters of U.S. 12th Army Group lay to the south, and so Eisenhower decided to place American forces north of the “Bulge” salient under 21st Army Group. They, with the American 3rd Army under General George S. Patton, reduced the salient.
After the battle, control of the U.S. 1st Army which had been placed under Field Marshal Montgomery’s temporary command was returned to Bradley’s 12th Army Group. The U.S. 9th Army remained under Montgomery longer, before being returned to American command in Germany.”
