The Emerging Campaign for US Troop Reductions in Europe: Siren Call to Disaster.

Abstract

Reduction of US troop strength in Europe in the near future would be a mistake. The reasons for having a US presence there is as valid for the 1980's as it was in the 1950's and 1960's: to deter Soviet aggression and to prop up Europe--because it is in the interest of the United States to do so. Pulling US troops from Europe to establish as strategic reserve for worldwide contingencies would destabilize Europe and signal US decline as a world power. (Author)
