well 12 million+ die every year from easily curable diseases or starvation in this empire. then we force them to export their food while they starve, fail to develop the areas...installs brutal dictatorships. There's not much to be proud of, if anything.
Here's a by country list.

I lived in Baumholder Germany. A decent sized base, not too big, anyway they count the Quartermaster and the hospital, the airfield and the family housing as seperate bases. That;s dumb, there all connected. So yeah, it's gonna seem large when you look at it like that. Look at all the other repeats in this list too.
Baumholder, Baumholder, US Army
Baumholder Airfield, Baumholder, US Army
Baumholder Fam Hsg, Baumholder, US Army
Baumholder Hospital, Baumholder, US Army
Baumholder Qm Area, Baumholder, US Army
so did great britain at the height of its empire days, and Rome had 37. apparently that's the magic number...
and with 2,500,000 stationed around the world its fairly obvious what's going on.
What's going on?
I'm not trying to be a smart ass, fill me in.
Is this thread about numerology? What relevance does the number 37 have. Why is it "magic"?
Ha ha LOL.
Its archaicism, it is 'might is right', it is 'we will do what we do because that's the way it has always been done', it is a bible and a rifle and the opportunistic moneyman, it is property and wealth, it is influence in one muscular dimension, it is narcissism without a looking glass, it is sickness, it is the disconnected, taking no time to stand on the ground. It is a race that is never run.

It is American cowardice, and it's proud history.

i'd personally go for the edit button, but some call me old fashoned.
Actually, I'm going for the ignore button.

This is nothing new the guy does it all the time. I always have a good laugh.
Many of those bases and soldiers are there for peace keeping, not aggresive muscle flexing.
And from the soldiers I've spoken too, many of those areas welcome our soldiers presence.
But I digress, continue accusing and bashing the US, we can take it.

Please dont leave us! We wouldnt know what to do without your guidence and superior knowledge! Please o please dont leave us. help us from our selves. I beg you!
by the way that peace keeping mission in Irak is going really well. keep up the good work!
i'd say most of those countries are glad we are there for one reason or another...a majority of them ALLOW us to be there...don't they?
Wow, that's just awesome man. Would you like us to leave so the Sunnis and Shiites can just rachet up the slaughter and genocide un-impeded?
how would this country feel about foreign military bases on our soil? i know i wouldnt like it. what is china had a base in mexico, canada, and the dominican republic that could launch attacks on our soil within minutes?
not as easy to dismiss now is it?
Puerto Rico. That's cute.
I took a look at that list and it seems to me that they aren't doing anything in a lot of these countries viz most of the European countries.
And it's not exactly the people of those countries that 'allow' them to be there.

Thank you, just proved my point.
Oh darn it! You got me. I fell right into your trap. What was I thinking.
:rolleyes:
coming from an island that would be screwed without US support, Ill take that comment with a grain of salt.

see that is the attitude that gives the US their bad reputation. and just why would you think that? the reason why most islands in the caribean and countries in central america are screwed is because that is the way the US goverment wanted it.
you were thinking what would be the nicest condescending thing to say.
Yep, that's right. You nailed it buddy, great assessment.
having a good day are we
