Cut the defense budget

Here are some suggestions that would reduce defense spending that is unnecessary:

-Bring home all forces from South Korea.  Where's a threat?  In any case South Korea can defend itself.

-Bring home all forces from Europe, except for a few liason people.  Again, where's the threat and why shouldn't European nations be able to defend themselves.

These are legacy operations that exist just due to bureaucratic inertia and turf issues.

Even if we didn't discharge them into a lousy job market they could still be spending their money here.
