Bring the Boys (and Girls) Back Home!

[syslight]

Well it is about time somebody says it. The time for the Marshall plan and related treaties is passed! Other then a token bases on the shores of the UK, Italy, Diego Garcia and Cuba, it is time to pull our troops out of every foreign country. Except, where there are still open hostilities such as Korea, Afghanistan and Iraq.

This would allow US bases to remain open/ re-open and would lower our overall military costs without jeopardizing our borders.

Further, this would lower anxiety around the world and foster either national pride or capitulation among nations that do not want to provide for their own defense.

in the era of an ever spiraling out of control budget we must make cuts where possible. End our NATO and UN contributions and allow others the freedom to assume their place in history.
