All our forces should be removed from Europe and Japan.
You've got that right. It's almost laughable that we think we need troops in Europe or Japan today, let alone heavy armored brigades. It's wasteful and expensive.
And no, I don't buy the "forward deployment" argument. The US has the ability to get people where they're really needed in a reasonable amount of time.
We don't need forces everywhere, all the time. Just like a fire department doesn't need a crew on every street corner. They just need the ability to get to a corner in a reasonable amount of time.
“All our forces should be removed from Europe and Japan.”
I agree. I wish FR had a LIKE button.
