U.S. Military Personnel Deployments by Country

The Worldwide Network of US Military Bases
The main sources of information on these military installations (e.g. C. Johnson, the NATO Watch Committee, the International Network for the Abolition of Foreign Military Bases) reveal that the US operates and/or controls between 700 and 800 military bases Worldwide.

In this regard, Hugh d’Andrade and Bob Wing’s 2002 Map 1 entitled “U.S. Military Troops and Bases around the World, The Cost of ‘Permanent War'”, confirms the presence of US military personnel in 156 countries.

The US Military has bases in 63 countries. Brand new military bases have been built since September 11, 2001 in seven countries.

In total, there are 255,065 US military personnel deployed Worldwide.
These facilities include a total of 845,441 different buildings and equipments. The underlying land surface is of the order of 30 million acres. According to Gelman, who examined 2005 official Pentagon data, the US is thought to own a total of 737 bases in foreign lands. Adding to the bases inside U.S. territory, the total land area occupied by US military bases domestically within the US and internationally is of the order of 2,202,735 hectares, which makes the Pentagon one of the largest landowners worldwide (Gelman, J., 2007).

The United States Probably Has More Foreign Military Bases Than Any Other People, Nation, or Empire in History
And it’s doing us more harm than good.

Meanwhile for the United States, investing taxpayer dollars in the construction and maintenance of overseas bases means forgoing investments in areas like education, transportation, housing, and healthcare, despite the fact that these industries are more of a boon to overall economic productivity and create more jobs compared to equivalent military spending. Think about what $85 billion per year would mean in terms of rebuilding the country’s crumbling civilian infrastructure.

You must be pleased that he is handing over the country to the Russians. Most likely Putin told him to get out, and he did what he was told. Fuck, even our State department had no idea what was happening, and most likely our military leaders as well.

[h=1]Marco Rubio Rips Syria Withdrawal: A 'Colossal Mistake' That Will 'Haunt This Administration'[/h]


Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is among the conservatives slamming the Trump Administration’s announcement that the U.S. is about to pull out of Syria.

Following President Donald Trump‘s claim that ISIS has been defeated in Syria, the White House says the military is taking quick action to withdraw 2,000 American service members from the region. Not everyone is convinced this is a good idea, however, and Rubio is among those who believe the pullout is a “colossal mistake” and a “grave error.”

The Florida Senator added, on Twitter, that he believes the move is a “major blunder” which will “haunt” the Trump administration.

Funny how it's okay to hand a country over to the Taliban, al-Queda, and ISIL; but, it's not okay to hand a country over to Russia. Never would have imagined that Dems would have a problem with handing stuff over to the Russians.

me! me! *accolades*
There is NO REASON for the US to be in Syria with ground forces now that ISIS is wrapped up.

The talk is to "act as a check on Iranian expansion" -but Iran is already established in Syria partnering
with Assad and Hezbollah, and Russia for geopolitics.

Hillary wanted us there for her "no fly zone" which would have been a disaster and quiet possibly sucked us
into a ground war.

Get out. Mission accomplished, and let Israel deal with Iran forces on it's border
