[@Lunamaria] The main contention is generally that Europeans should be footing the bill to defend Europe, rather than Americans. When U.S. forces are deployed in bases in Germany, it isn't the citizens of Berlin and Munich that are paying for them, it's the citizens of New York City and Houston. 

The NATO recommendation for defence spending is 2% of GDP. The only European member of NATO that spends that much is the United Kingdom. The American taxpayer is left to pay, literally, for Europe's pacifism.

Fucking cheap-ass Europeans.
