I have an idea and a proposal. What if the United States would withdraw all military forces abroad and bring our soldiers back home to the U. S. . Align all American borders with new Military bases and begin protecting every concern within our own country. These new military bases all along our borders could provide new and welcomed security to our citizens not to mention the economic boom that would surround these new bases. I am not a financial wizard but I would suspect America is losing billions annually in military pay that is being spent by our soldiers in foreign countries. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps and seen first hand how cities around military bases prospered from having said bases located around them. In a nutshell National security problem solved and economy problem's would be solved also. It is time we let the world grow up and take responsibility for there own futures and not at the cost of the U. S. tax payer. Thank You , Garry Hall
