The Military around the world

Probably no other country has deployed troops to so many foreign lands. We have around 800 U.S. bases in eighty or so foreign countries.  Although the wars ended more than sixty years ago, there are still 174 U.S. “base sites” in Germany, 113 in Japan, and 83 in South Korea. Some estimates say it costs us about $156 billion a year, money we could use for our deteriorating infrastructure.
