Ricky, I wasn’t able to access the website you refer to, then I realized I have the book. “Tomorrow’s Battlefield” US Proxy Wars and Secret Ops inAfrica. So for others, I suggest googling the author Nick Turse.

Nick Turse is also the author of  “The Changing Face of Empire” and “Kill Anything That Moves”.

All worthwhile reading, and yes, he paints a very alarming picture of the 21st century, which we see unfolding now.

Tomorrow's Battlefield, a book about recent deployments in Africa, includes some stories of official attempts to dodge these questions.  And the subsequent attempts of the military to deny all denials... Well, check it out if you have time.  Paints a rather alarming picture of the 21st century version of deployments.

Dear Peace-discuss,

I find this interesting.
I was searching for the numbers of U.S. military troops we currently have in countries.


The website of DMDC is off-line. The Defense Manpower Data Center is widely quoted as the official count of military personnel. https://www.dmdc.osd.mil<https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/>

Each year since 1950, the U.S. Department of Defense has provided on its web site detailed information about the deployment of American troops around the world.

Other websites that are down:
us.army.mil<http://us.army.mil/>
The Marine Corps website even has broken links: “To find more information about Marine Corps installations, please visit the following link: http://www.usmc.mil/units/Pages/category.aspx . This link is broken so defaults back to the www.marines.mil<http://www.marines.mil/> front page


I will continue looking for the current information. I just thought I would share the "Wow, it has always been here but now it is not" discovery.
