FACT:
US troops are spread across the globe: approximately 66,000 are stationed in Europe; approximately 80,000 in East Asia and the Pacific region; over 5,000 in North Africa, Southwestern and South Asia;
United States military deployments - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Why then was there such an urgency to leave Iraq/Afghanistan ?
ONE major reason... the US mainstream media and democrats working together totally mislead the general public as usual in how these wars are won.
Just as the MSM and the democrats did with Vietnam, constant criticism of the military as was done in Vietnam was the major reason for the reduction in forces. Our military knew from experience we couldn't leave Iraq undefended.
But bowing to the MSM/Democrats that did this for political gain, the military withdrew.
And now we are paying the consequences.
