Some will say that it's the price the US pays for their position and influence but I agree that Europe ought to do more and we do more than anyone else I believe.

Yeah and we're one of the nuclear powers along with France. To be honest I can see an argument for abolishing Trident if the money was spent on conventional forces and the intelligence services although I am generally in favour of renewal. If we believe NATO will hold as an alliance then it would be logical that different states specialise in specific areas. We seem to be pretty good at technological development, intelligence and such. Not sure how important a decent navy is these days....
