In my mind a person who visualizes 750 full-scale American military bases filling every nook and cranny of the world will realize that the reality may be a little different when they hear that Guam alone has 54 of those “bases”, Puerto Rico 34, Japan 120, Germany 119, South Korea has 73 of them Italy 44 and so on.

They may figure out that those pushing that propaganda are also listing small radar and surveillance installations, drone airfields, and even a few military cemeteries.

Looking at this list by a group that promotes this one sees that they list “bases” with as few as 2, or 5, or 3, or even zero personnel.
