When did you ever have boots on the ground? When did you ever risk your life for your country or a cause you believe in?

NATO is a relic of the Cold War and a crippled Europe. Now Europe is recovered, united, and needs to be responsible for itself.

Agree.

NATO has outlived its usefulness to the United States and now risks becoming a serious geo-political impediment, in addition to a drain on the Treasury.

The US should be looking for an exit strategy.

When did you ever have boots on the ground?
My boots were in the air....

When did you ever risk your life for your country or a cause you believe in?
When the Cold War was “Peace.... With Casualties”, and a couple of times since, though nothing quite as dramatic.
