It is an emotionally charged issue that covers a wide span of topics, almost none of them very positive.Arthur Sidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848508095612688493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643715.post-58733593635748237712015-09-02T10:54:01.509-04:002015-09-02T10:54:01.509-04:00BTW, after reading my comment, I think I came acro...BTW, after reading my comment, I think I came across to harsh. I apologize for that. The expense of these bases is an important subject. Just that there are other issues and other stakeholders.Curt Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086508660386800294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643715.post-58635680387092330942015-09-01T06:41:30.648-04:002015-09-01T06:41:30.648-04:00Curt, I don't generally cover every single fac...Curt, I don't generally cover every single facet of a topic in a post. Please feel free to peruse other posts where I deal with some of those issues. For purposes of this post I was focused on how expensive it is to this nation. I would also point out that many of our "allies" are quite content to let America spend ourselves in financial oblivion while hiding under the umbrella of "protection", real or imagined, provided for by the wasted blood of American youth and the sweat of the American worker.Arthur Sidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848508095612688493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643715.post-7241189182839247732015-08-30T08:43:24.639-04:002015-08-30T08:43:24.639-04:00We have 800 military bases around the world and yo...We have 800 military bases around the world and your only concern is their expense? Do temrs like 'empire,' 'imperialism,' 'proxy leaders,' and 'blowback' mean anything to you? <br /><br />Do you only care about the impact these bases have on you and our nation here or are you curious about the costs other people have to pay to have our bases in their nation?Curt Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086508660386800294noreply@blogger.com
