Um, stageleft, you should look at this:

Overseas

As of 2003, U.S. troops were stationed at more than 820 installations in at least 39 countries.[7] Some of the largest contingents are:
Germany 75,603
Japan (United States Forces Japan) 40,045
South Korea (United States Forces Korea) 29,086
Italy 10,449
United Kingdom 10,331

As of May 5, 2007, there were about 160,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, according to Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, the commander of day-to-day operations for Operation Iraqi Freedom.[8] About 19,500 U.S. troops are engaged elsewhere throughout the Middle East, with the bulk in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.

Notice the U.S. has more troops in Hawaii than they do in Afghanistan. Make any sense?

“An Occupation By Any Other Name.”

Say what? The US doesn’t deny it’s occupying Guantanamo, it claims the lease is legal, Cuba claims the lease is illegal.

But thanks for pointing out that Cuba is the only country in the world not able to close a US military base during peacetime just by telling the US military to leave.

Why is that?
