Ah, that must be new math.  Do you really think that there are only two 
places that the U.S. has troops deployed?

For the record, the U.S. has troops deployed in 70% of the world's 
countries.  And, because the U.S. uses cleaver means of counting, they are 
actually in more countries than they put out there.  For example, there are 
troops in Greenland but that doesn't get counted because it is technically 
part of Denmark.

There are also 96 bases in U.S. territories.

In 2003, the last year that the numbers were put into a study, 27% of the 
U.S. troops were on foreign soil.  There are more today than in 2003.  Add 
to that the troops in the territories/possessions and you don't come up with 
90% in the U.S.  Guam alone has over 3,000 troops.

So, why do we need troops in 135 countries including the UK, NZ, Norway, 
Finland and so forth and so on?
