    The problem is we maintain half of them forward deployed in roughly 3 areas at any one time.

    But yeah that’s why our military is so expensive. If it wasn’t constantly forward deployed it would be much cheaper.

      We really should be working with our allies to get their own military in the area. Mainly in Europe. If I’m being realistic, we probably will never leave Asia.
