Our troops are defending countries that do not appreciate or pay for these Americans who are subject to attacks from people in some of those countries. Not only that, but think of the money we pend in those countries.
If we brought our troops home they could protect our borders and spend dollors in America. A recent president cut the budget of the Coast Guard which protects our borders.
This would be a win-win answer.
Sometimes you have to protect your interests and honor commitments to allies which I have no problem with. I do have a problem with us playing worlds policeman and being in areas where we have no national interest.
