Some poster in this Politics forum made the claim that United States military keeps the "bad guys" from taking over the world. In some ways, this is true.


So why don't we start charging other countries for the cost it takes to be the world police?

We have become the "bad guys".
Lets get out of the other countries and leave them to run their own.

How would any american perceive an occupying army on our soil?

Yeah, like protection money. Maybe we should charge countries for NOT invading them.

Might fill that budget gap faster.
