End all military spending in other nations

It is time to end all military spending in other nations, our military should be charged with protecting our commercial, travel and shipping assets throughout the world and the high seas while protecting our citizens and borders at home. We no longer need to loan out our military to be someone else's world policeman and another country's rented military.

In order to cut military spending, we must scale back the mission of our troops to defending our shipping and travel rights throughout the world along with protecting our states and territories. Military intervention around the world without direct provocation of war and defending/policing other nations is not only expensive but there is no return on investment. The cost of American lives in all this conflict is too high and for that there can never be a return on investment.
