There are a number of places around the world we could bring our men home from, why doesn’t anyone ever talk about those places? I happen to think, like our troops do, that we are accomplishing good things there, but the time will come for them to leave.
Paul has talked about bringing the troops home from those places too—often in fact. About the number of bases we have in Europe, Korea, Japan and how we should bring our troops home from there.
umm, respectfully Paul is talking about it.
Pulling our troops out of Europe means they have to pay for their own defenses.
The reason this is such a valuable move is right now, with us paying for their defense they are trying to build a little “socialist paradise”, then the dems point to them as a model for us, all the while not realizing that the only reason they’re not completely bankrupt is because big daddy uncle sam is paying the bills.
We don’t need to subvene socialism in Europe, they need to pay their own way.
Same with Korea. S Korea is a beast compared to N Korea, we still have 100k troops left over from the Korean war... why? Bring them home, and let them defend the borders, or get civilian jobs for the economy.
We have troops in 120 nations, leftovers from the various wars of the 20th century. What it amounts to is paying other countries bills on our backs.
And that brings us to foreign aid. Why the hell should we be taxed to give 4 billion dollars to Palestine?!? wth?
