Last fall, the McLaughlin Group reported over PBS that the US military has over 700 bases and installations in some 150 countries.
Consensus of the participants seemed favorably inclined, pointing out that this activity supports the war on terror.
But to my mind, the move also is a step towards promoting peace and ending war. If I recall correctly, there is less war today than at any time in the recorded history of mankind.
President Obama accepted the Nobel prize as commander-in-chief of the armed forces. For I believe the presence of US troops globally goes far to develop a peaceful ambience for us all.
