In the current fiscal climate, do you feel it is a wise investment for the US to have military trainers/advisors in various countries?

Personally, I think it is still a good idea to keep relationships alive in various global regions. Partnerships with countries that may not be "first tier" allies or of immediate strategic value may well become vital as geopolitics are always rapidly changing/evolving.

Charles, obviously a very political decision and one where our leaders must consider all aspects of engagement; however, we need to maintain a presence (the size of that presence is debatable) in countries with which we want to retain as allies or influence our relationship.
In the overall strategy, there are criteria (and methods) the federal government and DOD uses to determine our participation with other countries.

Well said LTC Strickland. The question is very broad in nature as are the factors which must be included in the decision.
