At this point in history, the United States is the world's only superpower. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the number of troops the U.S. has deployed to overseas bases in nearly 30 countries.
Most American overseas troop deployments are concentrated in three high-priority areas: Europe, the Middle East, and the Pacific. The U.S. also has small deployments in North America, the Caribbean, and Central America.
The American public has always had some strong tendencies toward isolationism. The U.S. is a large country with vast resources, so the average person doesn't always understand why we can't just 'mind our own business'.
World War I and II taught a harsh lesson that in the modern world, even if you don't go seeking trouble, trouble will find you.
