Jay, Taikun! The important point here is the military establishment needs the money. Troops deployed abroad earn more money than at home. Generals long for the days they could live in castles in Germany's Baden Wurtemberg's Black Forest enjoying the good life. Did I say good life? Oh, no! they were defending the free world christian western civilization against some guys who they said ate babies for breakfast a.k.a communists. Whatever the military establishment do with with the troops is irrelevant. They can station then anywhere as long as the money keeps flowing. But I can tell you the desert there is not like Black Forest. So the generals and the top brass stay in Florida with a fleet of planes ready to fly them there and the 'peones' will eat dust in the desert.
