Why do we have U.S. bases in France?

Question

Why do we have U.S. bases in France?

Answer 1

You don't have any. They left in 1967 after France left the military structure of NATO (while still training with them and sharing information).

Answer 2

Not really they are rather in Germany

And even there they are leaving

Answer 3

So the Germans don't take over......again.

Answer 4

Why do you think we do?  There have been no American bases in France since 1967.

France is a member of NATO which would be justification if we did.

Answer 5

There are no US bases in France - but a good bunch of belated dackel bushists -

Now Eastern Europe is trendier - and countries such as Georgia ( close to Armenia ), Ukraina are eager to welcome them for nothing -
