      The German government said in October that it would take over the payment of some 11,000 local employees at US military facilities as a show of good faith, anticipating repayment when the shutdown was resolved.

      What about this? Hoping to get the money back from the current administration seems…naive…

          As a fellow german I say let em rot and have private donations take care of them.
          The people may be our friends, but we shouldn’t show compassion towards the united states.
