The mongoloids in the East understand and respect one thing only - a show of power and force. Obama gets it. Trump not so much.

And if America does otherwise and completely withdraws, guess where your reserve currency status goes.......can you guess what happens after that?
Yes, the future growth of the US economy depends heavily on the maintenance of the US Dollar as the de facto reserve currency and the de facto international currency of trade. It is important that the volume of US Dollar-denominated trade transactions continue to grow.

Communications, ordnance, medical, food, etc. Fort Carson is home to units in all these areas.
This was no spur of the moment mobilization.
