Question for Gunny
Or any other member that was stationed overseas for any length of time.
When our forces are based within a foreign country, does the USA pay to rent or lease the
land where they are located from that country?
This does not mean just SoKo. It also means our world-wide bases. I can understand it might
boil down to a treaty or MOU with each individual country, though.
I can understand paying for utilities - electric, gas, water, sewer, etc - unless those are
"State Owned", then it falls back to the question.
I asked because upon his return flight, Pres. Trump said one ultimate goal with this Korea issue
would be to bring our 30,000 people back home.
If we are paying anything to be there, returning would save the DOD or State Dept millions of bucks!

I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?
