| US Troops Deploy ‘Overwhelming Force' Against Iceland's Beer Supplies |
| 2018-10-28 |
| [Task & Purpose] U.S. troops landed in Iceland last week ahead of the start the largest NATO military exercise since the Cold War, and apparently, they left their mark in the most appropriate way possible: by drinking every last beer in the nation’s capital. A significant number of bars in downtown ReykjavÃk were forced to make emergency beer runs under the onslaught of thirsty American sailors and Marines in town for the start of Trident Juncture 18, Iceland Magazine reports. Local media estimate that 6,000 and 7,000 U.S. military personnel exhausted beer cellars across the Icelandic capital in the span of a single weekend. |

We asked her who she liked best, which nationality. She said the Americans, they were polite, tipped by habit meaning she got lots of extra money and were easy to please. A few of the Europeans at the table got a bit miffed when she left but hey, they asked:p |
