Comment on What would happen if the US got rid of the majority of their bases and brought all the stationed soldiers home? What would be the impact on society, the economy, and other things?

The reason why so many people are happy to have US base in their country, isn’t about defence but about, Thousands of young people with disposable income. It’s a non negligible impact in some places.

And it’s thousands of Americans bringing their money into the region, not just locals circulating existing money between businesses.

But also in some regions, the implied defense is big too, I’d wager just not the majority of them.
