Problem is there are no "real" wars to fight. It's all about small guerilla groups of so-called "terrorists" and "insurgents".
You can't fight them with nuclear weapons and giant armadas of ships.
And having military bases in other countries all over the world? Yeah...that's costing us a lot of money and gaining us a lot of hatred from people worldwide.

You could be right. I have been reading some articles on the obama military doctrine and how it's weakened USA postion globally, thus my replying to the question of why he is described as weak on the international front.
I could prolly dredge 1 or 2 of those up if anyone is interested. I think with what is going on with Russia now, it seems that militarily it would make sense to maintain a presence for a larger than gurilla team enemy.
