Close overseas military bases and send National Guard and reservists home
Posted Sun, 2008-08-10 18:22
With the develoment of the rapid deployment of forces concept, overseas bases are no longer essential, particularly in European countries. The closing of some bases would release troops who could then be assigned for duty in Iraq there by relieving national reservist.
There is no realistic purpose for our military to maintain the large number of overseas bases. It is about time other the other democratic nations accept responsability for their own security.
The closing of overseas bases would not only reduce the number needed for additional troop enlistments, but also save on the costs of maintaining these bases.
