      NATO's Supreme Allied Commander is always an American. In NATO operations, sovereign nations place the forces they contribute (including generals!) under American command. Voluntarily. Do people not realize how rare that is in history?

      Alliances aren't about making money. They're about having allies--the sort who fought and bled in Afghanistan after 9/11, even though they weren't attacked. But if you must make it about money--Would've cost billions for US to replace the thousands of allied troops in Afghanistan

          Would these be the allies Secretary John Kerry referred to as the coalition of the bribed, the coerced?

          That was in reference to Iraq, which included some of the allies that participated in Afghanistan, but not all. And Kerry was wrong to refer to them as such.

          Never understand why USA invaded Afghanistan killing thousands of innocent people when Saudi Arabia was responsible for 911

          So international relations experts could tell us to murder more innocent people and overcommit to military expeditures to defend Europeans from the Russians we should be allies with.

          Perhaps Trump has a mercenary company in mind. Does he know anyone who'd organize that sort of business?

          Glad to know how NATO members really feel about serving alongside the USA. You don't even consider 9/11 an inhumane attack.
