My dad was in the AF, and we rotated back and forth between the US and Europe. A friend of his married a British woman while stationed there, and took her back to the States when the tour was over. She endlessly complained about the US, and how Britain was so much better.

Eventually, they were rotated to Germany. As soon as they arrived, she was off to England. 6 weeks later, she was back, and did not complain about the US again.



Legend has it that Walter can smell anti-Americanism in the water, in fact all the way to Germany.


My family did two tours in Germany (tour as in being stationed there by the military). If you're a military family, the military will move you all around the world.


Yes I guessed that AF meant Air Force.
