Overseas jobs we can bring home! Lets' start now!

I'd like most of the 77,900 military personnel we have in Germany come home. Lock, stock & barrel. Whatever they're doing there, they should do here instead. Let's build smaller bases here. Think of the jobs! Think of those military families spending their income HERE. Doing their jobs HERE. I'm not arguing that they're unecessary, but can't much of their work be onshored? Technology's improved since the Cold War. Put them in Detroit or NO and help save these cities.

From Wiki:

As of March 31, 2008, U.S. armed forces were stationed at more than 820 installations in at least 135 countries.<18> Some of the largest contingents are the 50,000 military personnel deployed in Iraq, the 71,000 in Afghanistan, the 52,440 in Germany (see list), the 35,688 in Japan (USFJ), the 28,500 in Republic of Korea (USFK), and the 9,660 in Italy and the 9,015 in the United Kingdom respectively. These numbers change frequently due to the regular recall and deployment of units.

Altogether, 77,917 military personnel are located in Europe, 141 in the former Soviet Union, 47,236 in East Asia and the Pacific, 3,362 in North Africa, the Near East, and South Asia, 1,355 are in sub-Saharan Africa with 1,941 in the Western Hemisphere excepting the United States itself
