We've had 40K in Korea since the 50s and lots more in Europe since 45. Didn't see any wars there. It might be because having a presence deters wars from breaking out..

Preventing wars is a lot cheaper than fighting them, TRH. And not just cheaper in dollars.

Wait, did I read that right? You say - "All this talk about troop pullout is just to keep Trump base happy?" Does this mean the Democrats WANT our forces there? I mean, if this is purely to keep the Trump base happy. BTW, Were all those anti-war anti GWB Code Pink protestors all GOP hardcores who are now Trump people? Does that mean Pelosi is suddenly all for having our troops there? Thought they hated this sort of thing:


Not long ago they wanted to defund this sort of thing.


That was good, really good. Thanks

Would there be less of a Tax Payer expense if these troops were stationed elsewhere, or are you saying we should bring all of our troops home, then lay them off, thus saving dollars?

WTF answer is that? Our interests remain. Sure they change but the last thing we need is the vacuum we would create by leaving, only to be filled by the Iranians, Chinese or even the Russians. I'm amazed at your simplistic view of the world.

Another equally idiotic response. WGAF about policing unless it's in our interests, which it is, but you seem to consistently fail to grasp that.
