Since school has been winding down for me, I've been blogging more often. So, I present to you a two part piece on the question of Europe's strategic value to the United States. In an age of fiscal austerity and demanding strategic priorities, it is my opinion that the United States should draw down its total force by about 40,000 troops.

Well I no nothing about military stuff unless A) Something major happens B) You post it I agree with you, America doesn't need the large amounts of military equipment/troops in Europe, especially since they are going through an economic crisis as we speak. 5.6 trillion dollars is [b]a lot[/b] of debt. However there are still interest and usefulness in Europe (close proximity to the middle east) that still make it valuable. The sensible thing would be to cut down anything that is not majorly contributing. Btw good blogs especially the one on the history of Afghanistan :D
