By pulling out our troops, the Euroweenies could actually spend some money on on their own defense instead of having us pay for it while they spit in our face in return. It is time for Old Europe to grow up...pull its own weight. If they want to criticize the U.S., they should do so as independent nations...not bite the hand that feeds them. Our military presence has enabled Old Europe to create socialist states that would implode if these countries actually had to maintain militaries to provide for their own defense. Time to cut the strings and let Old Europe either sink or swim.
The only thing that I'd add to troop withdrawal is the exhumation of U.S. servicemen buried in Europe and relocation to the States. It is a shame that they gave their lives for the likes of Frenchmen...the least we can do is give them proper burials in the U.S.
If you think so.
So the troops mission in europe is to keep Europe from paying for their own defence ?
What idiot send them there ?
