I think you'll find that the United States has been involved in more wars the past 100 years than Europe (that is, the countries that make up the EU).
Having said that, the European Union and economic stability has made a war amongst the major countries a virtual impossibility. So your "concern" is unfounded.
The US troops were in Europe because of teh Cold War,
not to act as police or to stop countries squabling.
I also find it amusing that you cite leaving Europe as a "problem" when you have a history on this board of ranting
against Europe, complaining that they rely upon the US too much, that America is fed up being the world's policeman etc.
So which one is it?

We pull out, they up their own armies, one of them goes into economic decline, they get a nationalist government talking about the good old days, WWII generation has mostly died off to say 'what the hell are you doing', and bingo another European war.
Based on European history, this is more likely than thinking that wars are over with.
