Crazy? no... Naive/unrealistic... Yes... What jobs are all those troops going to get? What about the jobs lost due to downsizing of the companies that supply the military? And how is the huge national security issue regarding the need for oil going to be served by not protecting/advancing those interests abroad? Until the energy issue is fixed, which will take a very long time even if the US started drilling locally today, there's no way they can pull troops/bases etc back home. So IMO his position is all about political support and not based in the reality of the situation.
