He could say... 'You know what, I totally believe we should bring troops home, but in the interest of actually winning this election and getting shit done in congress, I'll lick some sack and make this one concession. I'll let us go be imperials, if we the people get a cut of the spoils' ...
There are so many other things he can spend the next 8 years fixing ... he's never gonna get the military stuff cleared up anyway.

Who has the final call to bring troops home from non-war countries, the president or the congress?
I think he (or someone) should bring them all home. Why do we have troops in countries that we are not at war with? Germany, Japan, Guam... and the list goes on. If we want to play Empire, it is only fair to let the Chinese set up a base in Mexico and the Russians in Canada. How about the Iranians get a base in Haiti? None of that would fly, so I don't think we should have bases all over the world. The world doesn't hate the USA for it's freedom, they hate the USA for its hypocrisy, war mongering and meddling.
