The Roman system was a failed system. Therefore we need to make adjustments. Like anything you cannot take it to the extreme. Cooperating with other countries so that you work together is economic and efficient. Avoiding war is sound policy. But putting your own soldiers in all these other countries is unsustainable and has to stop.

Indeed it would be cheaper for America and cheaper for the countries that have to accommodate them, a win-win for all. These days remote warfare is possible so a physical presence in those countries is less important.
