Seems to be a bit of an uproar going on.

Kilroy I wouldn't worry too much about the alarmists.In the mid 19th century  Irish Catholics were going to take over Australia and force us all to swear allegience to the Pope. In the 1950s it was the Reds under the beds who were going to take over and in 1996 we were going to be 'swamped by Asians'. The xenophobia remains, only the scapegoats change.

The military of the United States is deployed in more than 150 countries around the world, with 164,227 of its active-duty personnel serving outside the United States and its territories and an additional 118,966 deployed in various contingency operations.

You might like to do a bit more reading as most of your 'opinions' are actually incorrect regarding the two groups involved. Cheers

OMG where are they expanding their empire? And where is the base of their empire?
