Beretta Pistols – If the military uses it, you know it’s going to be good
The United States armed forces are the largest and most powerful armies in the history of earth. The entire history. Think about that. It’s the most expensive thing, ever, after the national debt, costing trillions and trillions of dollars, with over 737 military bases around the world.
Once upon a time, you could trace the spread of imperialism by counting up colonies. America’s version of the colony is the military base; and by following the changing politics of global basing, one can learn much about our ever more all-encompassing imperial “footprint” and the militarism that grows with it. With more than 2,500,000 U.S. personnel serving across the planet and military bases spread across each continent, it’s time to face up to the fact that our American democracy has spawned a global empire.
