--The standard Democratic proposal for dealing with enemies in places like Iraq is to pull back our troops "over the horizon" to be redeployed immediately as needed.

Cite the locations where these troops will be located while they wait. Hint: You can't deploy heavy aircraft, tanks, or thousands of troops off a normal aircraft carrier group. Recommended reference: D-Day, and the preparations required to deploy a major force directly from an ocean.

--In 2004, which president announced a plan to close hundreds of overseas bases and bring home tens of thousands of military personnel and about a hundred thousand family members and civilian employees? Extra credit if you point out the nations that were the most upset at this.

--Aside from deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan, are there more troops on overseas bases now than there ever have been? A spreadsheet can be found here if you want to mess with it.
