I cannot say with any certainty that the US acting as world policeman is a great idea, but 80 years ago the collective world though it was a great idea to practice "mind our own business" and we ended up with Nazi Germany and Imperialist Japan.

You might want to think about you history. Look at what military spending levels '39 compared to total worldwide military spending. Then look then and now, who is trying to dictate what the rest of the world wants to do. Better drop this line of talk.

If that requires military presence in the strait of Hormuz and the Korean DMZ that is a price I feel is reasonable to pay.
