To quote Frank Barone
The text below links to an interactive animation within an outstanding Mother Jones report having to do with U.S. military expansion throughout the world from 1950 until the almost present.
Super duper double way high recommended ... Seriously, it only takes about 45 seconds. Do it now! .......... Don't make me come over there!
The current total is, however, substantially less than the Cold War peak of 1,014 in 1967.
There are only 192 countries in the United Nations.
Official military reports understate the actual size of the US footprint.
Below is a similar treatment from United for Peace and Justice, that was first published in 2005.
Not as good as the above Mother Jones piece, but worthwhile.
I have to admit it, I had no idea this thing had grown so big.
And I'm the guy supposedly paying attention.
