As David Vine demonstrates, the overseas bases raise geopolitical
tensions and provoke widespread antipathy towards the United
States. They also undermine American democratic ideals, pushing the
U.S. into partnerships with dictators and perpetuating a system of
second-class citizenship in territories like Guam. They breed
sexual violence, destroy the environment, and damage local
economies. And their financial cost is staggering: though the
Pentagon underplays the numbers, Vine's accounting proves that the
bill approaches $100 billion per year. For many decades, the need
for overseas bases has been a quasi-religious dictum of U.S.
foreign policy. But in recent years, a bipartisan coalition has
finally started to question this conventional wisdom. With the U.S.
withdrawing from Afghanistan and ending thirteen years of war,
there is no better time to re-examine the tenets of our military
strategy. Base Nation is an essential contribution to that debate.
