This could've been done already a decade ago. If I'd be American, I would've been whining about the upkeep of nearly 100k innecessarily troops in Europe with taxpayers funds for the whole 90s.

well except for some older jewish people who screwed up on the ballot no one voted for someone who would have brought them home.

Ain't Djibouti strategically very important country to be friends with, being in the center of African horn and all?

What interests do we have in Djibouti that justifies having troops there? or for that matter anywhere else.

You're too nice. Other than that I agree with the core meaning of your phrase.

People In America have debated the usefulness of troops in Europe. So there.

They were just about to start asking George Bush the 1st about that, when BOOM! Gulf War One happened, quite handy for the war-profiteers of the military industrial complex.

Actually loads of people tried to vote for someone else, but some swift and thuruough ballot tampering and the criminalization and right-to-vote-denial of vast numbers of black Floridans who (technically) had never been convicted of anything in their life was enough to save the day, and ensure that Democracy served its purpose once more.

Exactly what alot of people want to know. Somehow the yanks manage to have Vital National Interests all over the place, usually near valuable natural resources, or places where 3rd World peasants might get ideas about socialist policies or nationalist economics or descent taxes on corporations and so on. Sometimes America seems to decide it has Vital National Interests in a place Just Because, and nobody can figure out why.

Alot of people where quite insistant on knowing what interest America had in Iraq for instance, at the time, the current King, CEO or President of America mumbled something about WMDs and Al Qaeda, but so far none of that has proved to be very substantial.

If you can figure out what military interests America has anywhere outside of it's own borders, you be sure to let us know.
