Too Many Overseas Bases
By David Vine
In the midst of an economic crisis that's getting scarier by the day, it's time to ask whether the nation can really afford some 1,000 military bases overseas. For those unfamiliar with the issue, you read that number correctly. One thousand. One thousand U.S. Military bases outside the 50 states and Washington, DC, representing the largest collection of bases in world history. Ref. Source 2

An Unprecedented Network of Military Bases That is Still Expanding
By Catherine Lutz
Asked why the US has a vast network of military bases around the world, Pentagon officials give both utilitarian and humanitarian arguments. Utilitarian arguments include the claim that bases provide security for the US by deterring attack from hostile countries and preventing or remedying unrest or military challenges; that bases serve the national economic interests of the US, ensuring access to markets and commodities needed to maintain US standards of living.

I can see and understand the Pentagons argument that it helps our economy by giving us access to some goods. Our service men and women overseas can go into the local villages or cities and buy products that you can not get over here. Those same produces are sent back home to the states.
