No.  We should withdraw our troops from the more than 130 countries they are stationed in, cut the military budget, and use our armed forces for actual defense.

Well can we leave some troops in those countries for defense, or logistical reasons...like needing to get somehwere fast for our defense.

Your solution seems a bit too draconian.

Well, that would make sense.  It's pretty unnecessary to have troops stationed in Europe though.

jets and aircraft carriers need to be refueled. its common sense and it cuts down on costs.

Begs the question of why we'd need jets and sh-t over there.  Because of our interventionist foreign policy!
