A Thousand Overseas Bases

From the Institute for Policy Studies comes this David Vine article on our empire of near a thousand overseas bases.  268 bases in Germany!  What could they be for?  Worldwide our bases embrace 234 golf courses.  Doesn't sound very military.  Cutting military spending has to involve closing these bases.  Who could argue with that?
