Maybe.
But I refuse to pay to maintain a standing army there forever. Same goes for Afghanistan. Actually, most of the bases elsewhere in the world need to go as well. We have more important and pressing money issues at home, to be paying out almost $800,000,000,000 EVERY YEAR so the GOP and the Military brass can take their kickbacks and play with their toys. The Navy can protect trade and shipping routes, after all that was their original purpose anyways.
Maybe we could redirect some of those resources to protect our borders, Pete?
I just want my country to stop trying to run the whole effin' world and concentrate on taking care of it's own. Is that really so bad?
