Rapid react forces, in small, forward locations, even on leased locations. Make less mess, achieve only clear objectives.

I think, but do not know, that Obama in his second term, will off MANY military bases. Reduce the standing army. Increase drones. Massively reduce nukes, replacing them with some much fewer DUZZY's.

Foreign entanglements are FAR easier to avoid, than win or exit.
