Personally I believe they should. There is no reason for us to be like rome. We have military bases in Germany, Japan, Italy etc etc. Last time i checked all those wars ended 60+ years ago.

It costs way to much and they should be shut down.

The US spends more on it's military than the next 10 countries combined. All that money could going into the development of the country but is not.

That's reason Scandinavia and Denmark will always be several steps ahead of the US.

Well, I think the reason we do this is because, since 9/11/01 most people have been shook. They think we will be attacked for whatever reason everybody feels threatened.

As the U.S. continues to pile on even more debt, we continue to try to follow in the footsteps of rome and it will have consequences.

I sometimes wonder, maybe if the Roman Empire abandoned it's lands and only stayed in Italy and some surrounding territory it might've still existed today.

Russia would gain too much influence.

We need to cut back on spending for the military by a lot.

We should increase our military spending so by the time other countries want their debt back we could easily kill them all.

European countries should stop disarming themselves and stop relying too much on NATO.

Yeah, they only protect our country. What I find stupid, is that even though NASA gets 18 billion a year (I think that was the number), no one says a word about that.





One does not simply walk into OT (without being told get out)

Because NASA is epic, no one cares about any other space programs quite as much as they care about NASA.

It's pioneering new technologies, it's creating jobs. You don't need to train NASA employees, they are trained, they are educated, and you are using they're skill to send trained astronauts/cosmonauts to space.

A large crew works on one project for a long period of time, they need constant testing, they need labs, they need lab workers.

The military doesn't do that. Soldiers aren't like employees.

Also what you don't get is that no the army is not defending you, it's annihilating everyone else. the US only needs a fraction of it's army for defense, they have troops all over the world NOT defending the nation.

Its the American Empire. The circumstances that allowed the USA to gain these bases and territories will never be repeated again, so it sticks on to them for good measure

I feel that with the politics between the arabian countries rubbing against USA and causing fire, it doesn't hurt to have the surveilance and knowledge of what is happening. Especially with countries around that area.

If America didn't help all these countries, who would? UN can't do anything unless they are actually attacked. China? Russia? Someone would.

Also, the bases are there to watch over so another World War won't happen and Japan is basically a province of America since we formed it's government and they can't have any military.

Ratchet all this started when we started occupying the Arabian Peninsula back in the 80s.

The same thing was done by Russia. When they left the Arabs never botherd Russia. Same thing when we left Vietnam. Nothing happened and they left us alone.

Don't you think there is a reason why they hate us? It is the same reason why they hated Russia. They were tired of foreign military occupying their land.

"If America didn't help all these countries, who would? UN can't do anything unless they are actually attacked. China? Russia? Someone would."

Why would we help them? What do we do send foreign aid? We are broke we can't send aid. We need to fix ourselves before, we try to help other countries.

"Also, the bases are there to watch over so another World War won't happen and Japan is basically a province of America since we formed it's government and they can't have any military."

Since when did we become the World's policemen? Countries like China will be forced to invade other countries as their population grows at a dramatic rate.

We do not need all those bases we can not afford it and it is showing majorly.

Also Russia is gaining a LOT of influence and we are over there. Why? Because, trade is cheaper for both countries since they are very close to each other.

You can not stop a free market.
