Answer 1

Apparently there are 6000 military bases and/ or military warehouses located in the U.S.

Total Military Personnel is 1,4 million of which 1,168,195 are in the U.S and US overseas territories.

Taking figures from the same source, there are 325,000 US military personnel in foreign countries:

800 in Africa,
97,000 in Asia (excluding the Middle East and Central Asia),
40,258 in South Korea,
40,045 in Japan,
491 at the Diego Garcia Base in the Indian Ocean,
100 in the Philippines,
196 in Singapore,
113 in Thailand,
200 in Australia,
and 16,601 Afloat.

In Europe, there are 116,000 US military personnel including 75,603 who are stationed in Germany.

In Central Asia about 1,000 are stationed at the Ganci (Manas) Air Base in Kyrgyzstan and 38 are located at Kritsanisi, in Georgia, with a mission to train Georgian soldiers.

In the Middle East (excludng the Iraq war theater) there are 6,000 US military personnel, 3,432 of whom are in Qatar and 1,496 in Bahrain.

In the Western Hemisphere, excluding the U.S. and US territories, there are 700 military personnel in Guantanamo, 413 in Honduras and 147 in Canada.

Answer 2

38 countries we know of, 786 bases officially (some countries have 30 or more bases). All in all, I would say half of the Pentagon is oversea at any given time (2,2 Million, half is 1,1Million). Current active conflicts, Haiti, Kosovo, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq. Nobody knows the extend of the estimated 39 spy agencies, the Pentagon has, including the CIA. On top of that come private agencies, like Blackwater, Haliburton and many more, maybe another 600,000 men. Every retired general opens a private security firm, charging the tax payer 200,000 of a lazy slob to sweep somewhere in Uzbekistan a floor, the slob gets 100,000 the general 100,000 on top of his generous retirement, courtesy of the tax payer.

Answer 3

it's difficult to say because they're everywhere. s. korea probably has about 35-45 thousand troops alone, there are troops in germany, guam, soon to be troops in bulgaria, japan, and at every US embassy in the world....it's difficult to get an accurate count.....

Answer 4

Too many and they are in countries where they are no longer needed especially in Europe. Also there is no need for them to be south of the US border.

They are no longer called the War Department but the Department of Defense.

Only Active and Reserve components should exist and they can be made better by disbanding the Air and Army National Guards. The National Guard sole purpose was for the states but we no longer live in the 1700s. Eliminating the National Guard allows better use and control of limited money and thus allow active and reserve components to be better prepared for war.
