"Even as it girds for a long and costly occupation of Iraq, the Pentagon is quietly carrying out the most comprehensive overhaul of the U.S. global force posture since the end of World War II. No longer will hundreds of thousands of American troops be garrisoned in the safe, family-friendly bases in Western Europe and Asia built during the Cold War....Instead, they will be pushed out to spartan bases, far from families, in remote locations like Kirgizstan, Bulgaria, and Djibouti--places most Americans couldn't locate on a map." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) This article discusses the global presence of U.S. forces and describes how the military is trying to "put into practice the [George W.] Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive military action."
