Why is Obama pulling tanks out of Germany to place on U.S. soil? - Virginia Beach Conservative | Examiner.com: On March 18, nearly two dozen M-1 Abrams tanks were loaded onto a train headed for the docks in Bremerhaven, Germany. They were then shipped to South Carolina, according to Stars and Stripes.

The removal of the last remaining 22 tanks marks the first time in 69 years that a U.S. tank has not been on German soil. In fact, two German-based U.S. Army brigades were just inactivated, as another, the 172nd Separate Infantry Brigade at Grafenwöhr is currently being disbanded.
