I was there, and my father told me is not evidence, it's an anegdote. I live in Germany now and when people back home ask me what it's like I say I don't know because I only live in a small part of it. You have very simplistic views of complex situations which those involving tens of millions of people surely are.
I can only repeat, I wrote "The US places its military worldwide out of its own interest, not to protect anyone". Whatever Germany wanted there does not make any difference.
Also again, the best I can do is respectfully disagree about the idea Germany asking the US to leave, and the US respecting its sovereignty. That West Germany was sovereign since 1955 is only part of the story, East Germany became sovereign in 1954, but it would be difficult to argue it meant anything of value (because it didn't).
