Letter: Bring the troops home

I want to know why the American troops are really in Europe and the surrounding nations. I watch the Military Channel and I see troops who are someone's husband, father, son and daughter get blown to bits for the simple reason of what? Why are we there? If American influence did nothing to help the Benghazi attack, then why are we in the Middle East?

The troops should be all brought home to America, where they can protect American borders like Canada and Mexico. And no more American blood should be shed on any foreign soil ever again.

Bring the troops home, and let those backward nations blow themselves to pieces.
