Heh. Anyone remember REFORGER (REturn of FORces to GERmany)? When we put 200K troops and multiple heavy divisions rollicking across the heart of Germany? I played in REFORGERs 80-84 while in Germany, and 86 and 88 deploying with the 1st Infantry from Fort Riley. Can you imagine what the tin-foilers in this country would do if we tried to mount something like the Louisiana Maneuvers (a proto-REFORGER exercise that took place in the South prior to WWII) now?
