#1 Possibly not as well known as all that — I had no idea that was a general, as opposed to rare, problem. Certainly I noticed no sign of it when we went to the bookstore and Chi-chis of a Sunday on the army base in Frankfurt back in the first half of the 1990s. Do those of you here who are familiar with our military bases, whether at home or abroad, agree?

#2 Whoops! I am informed that it was Abrams Air Force Base, so that may be very different than an Army base. ;-)

#3 Man, what a running dog commentary of bilge. I know that when I was stationed overseas, the command had a policy that if the local authorities asked for jurisdiction, they were generally given it. As for relations with locals check how many 'war brides' the US servicemen have brought back from overseas.

#4 I left some shipmates who could not behave in Spain in 1990 that had SOFA protection. The current issue may be that with poor recruitment and retention numbers commands may be allowing dirt bags too much leeway. The services may be awash in folks plucked out or a significantly degraded society. DEI stuff is not helping either.

#5 Criminal activity and base restrictions had become a problem. Iceland solved the problem. Not much was reported in the media. Alaska Paul could have expanded on the topic, but he has flown home to Glory.

Keflavík Naval Air Station

The Keflavík Naval Air Station was built by the US Military during WWII. The first US troops after WWII were stationed at the base in 1951, and the US maintained a large presence there until its closing on 8 September 2006.
