I don't see how your question follows from my post. If you intend to imply that I agree with the NSA that Germany is a US possession, then you're wrong. In the 80's I protested American occupation personally. However, it's useful to understand the mindset of the people in power in Washington. They really do regard everything as American soil. Finally, from a logical perspective, the Germans didn't allow US military bases; it was part of the post-war occupation accord. The French and the UK got their sectors, too, as did the Soviet Union.
