That's right nearly 800 foreign bases. This is another example of and out of control government expansion. We're pulling troops out of Syria and Afghanistan, so stay with that theme Mr President and let's close half of these foreign bases, reassess and then close more. Here is a factoid from the interweb:
"Despite recently closing hundreds of bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States still maintains nearly 800 military bases in more than 70 countries and territories abroad—from giant “Little Americas” to small radar facilities. Britain, France and Russia, by contrast, have about 30 foreign bases combined."
