I'm sure you already know this Johnny but there is a huge court case about a hit and run incident near a military base here in the UK. The victim was a British citizen and the accused perpetrator was the wife of an American who was stationed at a base. She fled citing diplomatic immunity and thus hasn't faced trial. Highlights the grey area of jurisdiction with regards to American bases.
@colek24703 жыл бұрын
She was a diplomats wife I think this says more about how the US views other countries laws rather than bases. Even though the husband had diplomatic immunity not everything you do should be immune to laws expecially in countries which have justice systems that are similar to ours

Living on a military installation one thing I can see is that the military population largely supports the surrounding economy and boosts it a lot. Varying from just food, drinking, houses/rent, barbers, clothing alterations, and general shopping these area around larger installations end up making decent amounts of money from all the military personnel and their spouses that live and shop in the area. On the negative side this military population also brings much more traffic as tons of people are trying to go to and from the same area every day. Also depending on the base they cause a lot of surrounding noise pollution whether it be aircraft, explosions, helicopters, etc. There are both negatives and positives to living next to military installations

Yeah, military bases is one of those things that if any country could do it, they’d be freaking doing it. It’s not solely a US thing. US is not inherently evil (not that JH is saying it is) as some people have adopted as their opinion. The world can thank its lucky stars that the US has military bases everywhere, not Russia (for example), or...you know...ISIS.

We paid the money and they left the country leaving it for the Soviet Union. :) Also in 1956 they promissed support if we rebell against the Russians, we did it and they took over Suez, the americans knew Russia can't intervene in Suez if they have to intervene in Hungary.

47-year-old black woman in America…my father did two tours in Germany, one tour in South Korea. South Korea was before me, but I attended kindergarten at Katterbach Army Base in Ansbach, Germany. I attended 4th, 5th, and 6th grades at the Strasberg Kaserne, and started 7th grade at Baumholder American High School. I loved living in Idar-Oberstein, and I loved the locals who were involved in my very young life in Ansbach. These people had so much respect and reverence for my family and I. Military family culture abroad was very much a collectivist culture and each time we returned to the U.S. I just didn’t fit, and it didn’t matter how many years in the U.S. I got under my belt, I never fit. And then I got violated, my children were violated. The American government refused to uphold the law and constitution regarding me and my children’s rights. The only institution to offer me an explanation (not justice, not protection, not safety) was the FBI. I was told these things happen sometimes, and that they would look into it and call me back. They never called back.

I'm an American and I grew up near Cape Kennedy. And NASA is technically a branch of the military (Air Force branch), but there many times that we were woken up by the sounds of the space shuttle launching. All things considered I was a kid so it was awesome. As an adult I'd probably be going "at 3am?! Really?!"
