Wow. 100,000 troops in Europe? Not needed. we should cut that to 20,000.
40,000 troops in Japan? That need not be more than 10,000.

we have many other smaller deployments that should be cut back to focus on the war on terror. The Cold War is over, our military posture needs to finally reflect that.

I agree. We are moving our troops out of Germany.

Of course, that means that their cannibals will have free reign, but so be it.

The Cold War is over.

Tell that to North Korea...or Bejing for that matter.

The troops in Japan are strategically positioned so as to timely reinforce likely 'hot-spots' such as South Korea or Taiwan.
