Yes, and I was expecting Obama to take the lead in this and to shut up these folks who are saying that we do not have money for the public option but we do to send troops to Afghanistan. Or maybe in Obama's grand scheme of things, by sending troops to Afghanistan he is trying to shorten the jobless lines!!! That is a good way and why didn't we think of that!!!

Our troops in Europe are there to protect Europe from the Commies, who don't exist anymore. Russia doesn't need force; they own Europe's energy resources. Our troops in SK are to protect them from NK, a country with half the population and no economy. Do it themselves. Not sure why we are in Japan/Okinawa; they can't stop an invasion by China, which is why we have nukes, perfect for sinking entire invasion fleets in about 3 tenths of a nanosecond. Somebody,Bolivia or Ecuador, just kicked us out. Good for them.
