President Bush's plan to bring home 70,000 of the 267,000 American troops stationed abroad has not been fleshed out. But most of the speculation has centered on Europe and Asia. Top 10 nations where troops are stationed:

Germany: 71,592

South Korea: 39,707

Japan: 34,695

Italy: 14,052

Britain: 11,467

Kuwait: 6,100

Guam: 2,450

Spain: 3,758

Turkey: 1,772

Note: Does not include more than 70,000 on ships or 1,500 whose station is unknown. Troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan are deployed there, not permanently stationed.
