when you see how much money is at stake and in the operations that go on every day it's phenomenal the number of flights to take off from kadena air force base every single day involved just that one base in that one country on one day well and have involved thousands of gallons of jet fuel. repair and maintenance and parts for those aircraft the rationale for these bases is that they're continually practicing and training and using the equipment and and running the personnel through their paces and and feeding them and and so on and that is an incredibly expensive operation this is what. the president has an hour it was warning against in his farewell address in one thousand nine hundred eighty one where he invented the

phrase military industrial complex meaning hidden power power that was not really under the supervision of congress that. it and that was often out of control represented private interests rather than the national interest i'm sorry to say that we in america did not pay attention to the warning he gave it gave to us and today it's close to out of control. the united states consumes one fourth of the world's oil to every day more than any other country far more than any other country the u.s. department of the fence alone consumes this much petroleum is sweet and does on a daily basis that's a huge amount that has to be procured day in day out three hundred sixty five days a year. to safeguard their oil the united states must have some capacity to

protect it and in this country that job has been given to the military. and the military must have bases naval bases air force bases and army bases in the areas where the oil is located or along the supply routes. if you look at the map collectively there is an almost contiguous string. of u.s. military bases from poland to pakistan in this really strategic middle ground between the emerging economic competitors of the united states the european union on one hand and china and japan on the other the us has a formal policy of maintaining military dominance of the persian gulf

area it's called the carta doctrine if the president jimmy carter he said protection of the flow of persian gulf oil is a vital interests of the united states and to protect that flow will use any means necessary including military force to there and he said we will need military bases in the persian gulf area and he established military bases to support this policy of protecting the flow of persian gulf oil and then wars were fought as well in line with the policy these in the west are united in pioneering a new front here of progress. serving the interests of a saudi arab. serving the interests of the united states. and demonstrating the high caliber of the american system of free enterprise. system

maintain control. since two thousand and three the u.s. has built dozens of military bases in iraq in two thousand and eight the u.s. and iraqi governments signed an agreement that states that all foreign troops should leave the country by two thousand and eleven. the agreement also says that the u.s. will not seek permanent basis or a permanent military presence in iraq. obama secretary of defense robert gates though has stated that even after two thousand and eleven he expects to see several tens of thousands of american troops as part of a residual force in iraq. hence many fear that iraq may be used as a launching pad for future wars in the region. over the fact bases created in response to an imminent threat have ended up becoming permanent. syria for example

on in the context of the cold war is still operational and has played a crucial role in the iraq war they say just a minute there. a sturdy physically to stay idea that you know the ins and outs say for the people to go if they are chill return they are mad the thing is americans are living there they had to fill up they i and i now. are you going to head like the island new college look like nearly two hundred million year old and i mean we can know and showing their life so they are why should we not have the right to go on now i don't and enjoy the same way they are doing. so by many as the navy's best kept secret because of its remote location diego garcia is actually home to about three thousand residents at any given time there's also a unique assortment of quality of life opportunities to take advantage of on diego

garcia the island's athletic center is open round the clock with a wide range of workout equipment and a full sized gymnasium be sure to spend as much time as possible researching this informative website to help you prepare for what will certainly be a memorable assignment abroad. by hosting u.s. bases countries lose their sovereignty in a number of ways you can do a very interesting kind of study in terms of the thickness of the sofa the status of forces agreement this is what's negotiated between the united states and so whole host nations and it determines. who can access the united states will have kind of political powers what happens when u.s. soldiers commit crimes in these countries and when you find is that the countries

that have less power or leverage in relationship to the united states have much thinner so for us in these cases these countries you'll find that when us socialist commit crimes they're not held accountable they're not and they're not tried under the law of the host nation other not put in the prisons in the host nation often they just want out of the country back into the united states were deployed to war zone. because they say boys will be boys nice guys been trained to be more aggressive and so they were aggressive you know. if. you like you're like shot up with steroids you know i mean you're working out every day and you've got guns you've got stuff man and so when you leave off the base man

i mean you're feeling pretty good about yourself you know i mean you feeling like you're a tough guy you could get anybody you know but so coming into town with that sort of attitude it's getting kind of drunk and it's so i'm looking at you the wrong way you know you're just not the whole lot you know when you know you were told your marines i mean they like that stuff the military likes that stuff they may say well we don't want our guys breaking local more wars and causing problems for the local people pull. this does garbage i mean if that's the case then you don't let us off the base you let us off the base there's going to be issues. i heard on the news one day about they ok now and girls had been raped by united

states military men and i was really upset over this because. i remember how we treat sort of treated the okinawa people when i was here as a set as an eighteen year old and eventually some my peace activists got in touch with me and they had a contact here in okinawa and when they found out that i had been stationed here they let the empty based. people here know that there's an ex marine who was stationed here who's doing a piece work now in america and so they invited me to come back to do so we took lectures so that was one nine hundred ninety six and that's when i came back and as we moved around the ireland and i saw the bases were still here i i just couldn't believe it. it's. it's almost like a cancer here for these people since the end of world war two these spaces have been here.

this is something americans should know what happens when we open bases in other people's countries we're kind of problems does it saw. or does it cause more problems and i think it does i think people. i think people get really angry you know at the this idea that we are policing the world we have a right to put bases anywhere we want we don't have foreign bases in america we don't have any british base we don't have any korean base we don't have any french bases or you know we just all american bases in in in for us our bases and find it so that the noise is our noise it doesn't bother us at all because they're our bases but for other people it's a real problem. they're going oh my goodness this is a list of the crimes and accidents caused by the us military in okinawa.

the accidents are very frequent distributed among. these are just a few minutes and i just didn't have time to write the moment down. i'm not a lot of. receivers although most think that there is a. battle to me here is a map of the base as you can see it's right in the middle of the city. of

. this elementary school stands only three hundred yards away from the base. here we are inside the so-called clear so where the planes take off from land this go up when you go that's why the aircraft fly solo and even the helicopters little problem you're right sometimes they are so close we can see the pilot's face.

fighting the noise is terrible they fly old a lot nonstop. some cry in the middle of the night they go on and get better and some even stops coming to school. we're here to cedarville chancel won't accept any more military bases. and won't

accept any more war machines on its land street therefore we say no to all military facilities for good he added to those that come in arms we say go home. in two thousand and seven the u.s. revealed its plans for a new military base and to transfer it to me just a few miles away from the city's historical center you chance up already hosts a u.s. military base because that might add a little home to the southern european task force and one of ten major u.s. bases in italy area designated for the new base is the x. a billion airport. the plans for the new base include forty eight buildings over twenty acres of land i couldn't give a damn about the chance of because if it said you have four people it said fear of are over the age of ninety and the base is a nothing of a base it doesn't generate smoke noise there are no planes landing so anybody

a complacent from my point of view is a dirty commie ok but why because the italian government the region the authorities have decided yes and they want to make a noise even though these are entirely harmless people it's like having tourists don't have tanks they don't have helicopters they don't crowd. aeroplane's on your side so it's purely ideological and negative based by bunch of people who don't do anything in a worthless. they were. they were. both in april two thousand there he live and yet is elected mayor of the chance on the promise of holding a referendum on a new place. it is said to be held on october fifth but just a few days before the italian supreme court blocks the referendum. despite

the court's decision the citizens of the chance to decide to hold an autonomous referendum and on october fifth ninety five percent of the participants voted against in our place. just the physical i mean i don't want the americans in my town and this is a chance to say it out loud but it's been almost seventy years since the end of the war and we still have occupying troops in our city i despite the clear opposition of the people of each and so the italian government gives the us the green light to go ahead with a new base. it's not unusual for the normal democratic process to be subverted when it comes to military bases most bases are in fact covered by secret treaties between the u.s. and host nations in italy's case this is the one nine hundred fifty four us kitchen bilateral agreement never make public nor ratified by the italian parliament

i. i i another truck is arriving let's try to stay together i. i. i. i. i. i i. i i. just felt like i was. going to lower. open the gates muth you're breaking the special law on us me. literary basis.

but no i'm not going to do it i don't. know if you're going to do what i do you know why we struggle like this can have open a can you understand how we feel free reality out there and you're a victim we're not even if the american and japanese governments have bullied us for years already it's similar to how we ever killed an american i learned of america. as your various girls have been great planes and helicopters have repeatedly crashed. and this is what these bases have brought us want to have a presence for sixty two bitter years sunit critics they will never grow up. we realize you're only doing your job i don't know why but ours is a historical g.-d. creator and we will pass this legacy on to future generations. elementary school you're taught the declaration of independence and if you're paying attention on the day that it's taught he'll be taught that it says that. the

king george the third kept among us standing armies in times of peace the committed abuses and usurpations of this and i was a him make up that this was a reason to declare independence from britain even though the war was. i was i was the bombers alexa was hailed by many. as the beginning of a political phase radically different from that of the bush administration and in many ways it has been. but the ever growing military budget the escalation of the war in afghanistan and the uncertainty surrounding the fate of the us bases in iraq and the plans for a new military bases in

a number of countries show how hard it is for this or any other president to challenge those policies that benefit the military industrial complex and perpetuate us hegemony over the rest of the world. the us must now choose when it destine the country's dwindling resources to strengthen social and democratic institutions or will it continue to fuel this parasitical complex that by definition can only produce new weapons and new wars. throughout estimates my land over there but it is good it more. so not until i hope to get it back when it is a. support. and then owner i do use the land to grow lots of white gratis take on what we don't want then us so that i could grow millions of them and not

little space will not take a look at iraq ok ok man i would then distribute them freely to the people of okinawa in the name of peace or not a charity or shout at. them moment there are no threat at their. own if we all stay united in the struggle i'm confident we can prevail. you are not our letter or if we don't speak out against the fest of our lands we will never be able to change the world. order that we are none of which are here. and we have to keep our camp with us and. that is the only way we can prevail but they. can have my biggest strength. and how do you know our path is one of resistance not terrorism.

we're here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody regardless of what if they are in to make sure that people have the freedom of movement that kids can go to school. and go to work and people can sleep safely and we would like to see kosovo develop and continue to grow and out there will be a point where a force no longer needed and we look forward to that day. the questions and your thing else should everything you needed.
