"Here's Where American Troops Are Stationed Overseas?"

From https://www.zerohedge.com | BY TYLER DURDEN | JUL 06, 2024. 

"With a military budget bigger than most countries’ GDPs, the U.S. military manages to station troops in nearly 170 territories, on every continent in the world."

"But which countries host the most troops? In the chart[s], Visual Capitalist's Pallavi Rao maps the territories where active duty American military personnel are stationed, according to March 2024 figures from the Defense Department."

Comments:

* During that era of the Cold War 300,000 American military personnel stationed West Germany.

* That American professional military man has for over a century now been able to practice his trade and craft as no other professional military man has done since the time of the Roman Empire!!

* Troops to include all military personnel of all services. Land/sea/air. U.S Marines count as a cross of land/sea/air?

* Excluding Guam, from the graphic NATO deployments ≈ 46 %. For bilateral defense treaty agreements with South Korea and Japan the number ≈ 54 % combined.

Anyone have a problem with any of this? Treaty arrangements are treaty arrangements!
