Retreat?

From our good friend Commander Salamander and thanks to his outstanding blog.

"Even the Chairman Goes Salamander on Overseas Forces"

"As regulars here know, from the start of the blog - and a decade earlier IRL - one of my core stands is that we are long past the need for having large formation of maneuver forces based overseas in now rich and ready allies."

Regarding the recent  comments of Army Gen. Mark Milley. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. [soon to be outgoing Chairman.]

IT NOT BEING DESIRABLE TO STATION ON A PERMANENT LARGE CONTINGENTS OF AMERICAN MILITARY PERSONNEL "OVERSEAS". 

Rather think deployments and stationing of American troops to be done on: "[a] rotational or 'episodic' [basis] rather than permanent".

Click on image to see an enlarged view. This particular image illustrative of the modern industrialized/mechanized by-the-numbers mass production many small cogs in a much bigger wheel., Manpower and MONEY in one end of a machine, gears rolling during a period of war. The product victory in warfare as defined by the political agenda of the policy makers, goal met, always an expenditure of manpower and MONEY net exceeding the debt when gross calculated. Such an evaluation simplistic sure but still illustrative nonetheless?

USA RETREATS FROM THE WORLD SURELY BUT SLOWLY? AS IT HAS BEEN FOR GREAT BRITAIN SINCE THE END OF WORLD WAR TWO THE USA WILL FOLLOW?
