Troops

Most people today agree that the United States should not be the world's policeman. If this is the case why are their 170,000 active duty military troops stationed in 1,000 location across 178 countries. In many of these places these troops are sitting ducks in Syria and Iraq for example. How many people would want their sons or daughters sitting on one of these sites. When something goes wrong and someone is injured or killed the government response is oops.
