Is there still a legit threat to America?
Operations in OEF/OIF under covered plots, money trails, and active terrorist cells to perform numerous attacks on American soil. If a small military presence in Kuwait and North Africa can still prevent future attacks, politicians need to cut the DA Civilian force.
If a military presence in the Middle East and North Africa does no good what so ever and GWOT will officially end at the end of this year, then yes, downsizing must occur like at the end of every other previous war the U.S. has ended.
As a Combat Vet, I'd hate to see us lose ground we'll just have to go retake in 5-10 years...

Yeah I hate that as well. If we had just taken care of business in 91...a lot of good men would still be with us.

All of the costs associated with gaining that ground are sunk costs. It is a shame how much it cost us. The question is, are those gains worth the carrying costs to keep it? Are the consequences of giving that ground up worth it?
