The United States has military bases in 70 countries, on every continent except Antarctica. Our gargantuan global military presence does not make the world safer; if anything it makes it more dangerous.

Except Australia covers a large part of Antartica so our alliance means that the US is covered there too.

In addition, the Pentagon budget is portrayed by both parties as "patriotic", when, in fact, it is a moral failure, as it funds global war, violence, and destruction - this endless war funding denies "basic needs" to the American people - there is not money for anything but war.
