Why can't we bring the troops home?

Before WW2 we did not maintain a worldwide military force. Now we have a global force and spend trillions on it. It is actually our biggest industry. Do you think this makes sense?

We didn't put troops in Japan, Italy, Germany, the UK and elsewhere after WWII? Does the DoD and all those that went to those duty stations know they didn't go? Do you ever think before you post?

And the DoD is nowhere near as expensive as the Department of Health and Human Services.

btw, when my son's boat goes out, the cost is $2.5 million a day.

that's for the whole carrier group

that's close to a billion a year - just for one nuclear aircraft carrier

Do you know the difference between "before" and "after"?

It does considering the world has greatly changed since then. When the threat grows, the defense must grow as well.

Did you see the post showing how much Health and Human Services costs? That was your point. Along with your incorrect assertion about troop deployment.
