The figures refer to defense budgets, not what each country is spending on NATO. The US are not spending that amount of money for our protection in Europe. As I said in a post a few days ago, nobody is forcing the US spend more than the 2% of GDP agreed upon by NATO members, but than the big arms producers would be earning less.
And I do agree with you in the bring the troops home bit. Nobody asked me if I wanted an American base on the southern coast, yet we do have one and it was used in the Iraq war, just like the NATO bases in Turkey, also used in that war, although it was not a NATO war.

we agree then.
The US should bring all our troops home.
