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.
