Did you know that out of the 193 countries in the world, we have American soldiers stationed in 140 of them? Not just a few soldiers, either. Our "peacetime" troop strength in those 140 countries is over 250,000 strong. Add in the 140,000 we have getting shot up in the Iraqi desert, along with the 150,000 that are floating aboard various warships, and the magnitude of the problem begins to become apparent.
