re: #5 palomino

I would like to withdraw from the Persian Gulf and most of the Middle East.

However, we should stay in the Balkans. We don’t know when Serbia will re-start their persecution of the Bosnians and Albanians. The onus is on them to prove they won’t. Until then, we stay. Not to mention, I would rather not have the US go isolationist again.

We need to be smarter with our military. There are enough projects that should be cancelled because of bloat. Like the F-35. Or the DDX and the Littoral Combat Ship. Many of the current procurement projects could actually damage the military, for more than what we currently have.
