I know there will always be a segment of population in the world are against the US just because it's the US...no matter what the issue is. These people simply hate us since we police the world.

But I don't think the US economy would suffer very much if we brought all our military home.

Nike, Microsoft, Coca Cola etc would do just fine. Their security overseas is really dependent on the host country. If it continues to bring in money and jobs to that country, no govt would want to kick them out.

American companies thrived in South America and Latin America before WWII.

Except for the crash of 1929, the US economy was fairly healthy.

Despite all the anti-Americanism, American products and dollars are still a coveted commodity.
