To the OP, awesome. Reducing the number of bases (not necessarily troops, but bases) is long, long over due.
You could argue the U.N. is supposed to be the world police everywhere so why do we end up doing it the majority of the time? The reason we do it is because it furthers our own national defense strategies. We do very little from a military stand point that isn't based around some sort of self serving interest.
