http://therealnews.com/t/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=3388
" The United States military spends roughly $100B per year to maintain approximately 1000 foreign military bases around the world, but what role do these bases play? We take a look at one such base on the Korean Peninsula, where the rhetoric of war has dominated recent headlines. According to military analyst and Korean politics expert John Feffer, the US military presence in South Korea exerts a large influence on events at both regional and local levels.
