The U.S has announced that they will be removing two Army brigades stationed in Europe as apart of its new defense plan that was unveiled earlier this month. They plan to save $400 billion in defense spending over the next 10 years. The remaining two Army brigades in Europe will "rotate in and out of the region", a technique already used by the Marines and Special Op. Forces. Obama has called for a "leaner, cheaper military with a greater focus on the Pacific". I believe this is a good start to help cut the deficit we are currently faced with because we could use many reductions in spending, especially in the Defense department, where we spend more than the next 10 or so countries behind us combined.
