Just a thought, but maybe if we pulled our troops out of the 177 countries they are currently deployed in, we could cut down on the $100B it takes to support some 800 overseas bases. Military leaders are constantly complaining how tired our troops are. Well, no kidding.

Here's a short list of where we have our military. We need to be asking why, and demanding answers. Ask yourself how many of these countries listed we actually are at war with: Norway, Hungary, Kosovo, Romania, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Afghanistan, Pakistan, UAE, Qatar, Singapore, British Indian Ocean Territory Australia, Guam, Japan, S. Korea, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, England, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, Somalia, Uganda, Greenland, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Columbia, Brazil, Peru, El Salvador, Mexico, Canada. Just a partial list, mind you.

Meanwhile: home infrastructure is crumbling; mental health care is lacking, health care for all is lacking, about seven states and Puerto Rico need serious long-term aid to re-build themselves from fires and hurricanes and floods. Nope, I have zero idea why we are in these countries. Afghanistan has zero end in sight, btw. Zero End. Think about it.
