I'm talking about the countless US airforce bases, CIA facilities. I lived near to 2 of those here in Germany. Not because i wanted, but because they are everywhere.
I lived close to two of those as well, actually even more than two. Most of which were either closed down since or handed over to the Germans (armed forces of BND, depending on the base in question).
Were you forced you to live there, or would you been been free to relocate to somewhere more to your liking, perhaps east of the Ural mountains?
