“I wonder how much it would cost to bring EVERY one of them home and bury them on our soil. “
Why?
.

That’s been brought up twice in the past, first when De Gaulle wanted all American forces out of France in the early 60s, and more recently in relation to the Iraq War. Didn’t go over well with the French government or citizens either time.
Because France is unworthy of keeping our dead. And I found the answer: about $400 million.
The thought of our soldiers and sailors brought home and buried on their home soil is something to ponder but so many are spread throughout the world and buried at sea. It is probably best to realize our far reaching efforts at freedom for ourselves and others. Then get pissed off when anyone foreign or domestic try to stop us. We take an oath when we join. We leave the direct service to the USA. We never unswear the oath. IMO
