The US Military is EVERYWHERE

Thanks for watching! I made a poster about maps & i hope you like it. You can check it out here: store.dftba.com/products/all-maps-are-wrong-poster

And then Us people: I wonder why all people around the globe care about our elections

I'm sure you already know this Johnny but there is a huge court case about a hit and run incident near a military base here in the UK. The victim was a British citizen and the accused perpetrator was the wife of an American who was stationed at a base. She fled citing diplomatic immunity and thus hasn't faced trial. Highlights the grey area of jurisdiction with regards to American bases.

8:54 Holy crap, As a South korean, I had no idea we had THAT many US bases here. Coupled with the fact that the US can take control over the korean military in war(wartime OPCON), it might as well just be US territory.

I've got a friend who is in the Royal Navy and was stationed in Norway for a few months, he said that the day he realised the sheer mass of the US military and its budget was when he left his barracks for only a day and when he came back there was a massive US camp/ base set up right next to him. He couldn't believe just how fast all the equipment and barracks had been formed together although often speaks of the mental funding of the US.

U.S Army: We lost a base in the middle of the desert in Africa Pentagon: We had a base there?

Johnny: I am not going to explain every base The Pentagon: Please do...

I have worked on US bases abroad and currently live privately in a European country that has US bases. While some people resent the presence of US military, it is rarely mentioned. They almost always say that it doesn't bother them personally, and that it helps provide work for the locals and injects a ton of money into the local economy. Some have actually complained when the bases were shut down, because it killed the local economy. So, I am sure we can find the same pros and cons going back to the Roman Empire, too.

Johnny gets a text US Department of Defence: “aye fam delete this rn”

It was wild being in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean in the Azores and seeing an American base with a Taco Bell haha.

Hey @johnnyharris You missed one in Poland, Redzikowo - it is the most important military base for EU because of it's anti rocket system. I was actually a student there in middle school, the base is right behind it lol.

When doing dots on a map, it helps to have them outlined by black or white... Colorblindness makes it hard to see that color you used over a land colored map! Just a lil accessibility tip!

The “lets map every us military base” thing really makes it sound like you wanna get out on a watchlist

If the government wasn’t on to you after this video... the McDonald’s video definitely sealed the deal

This is one of the most well-made videos ive ever seen. Damn good job!

Just came across your video although it was done a while ago. I was a transportation officer in the US Air Force. Actually there is a rather sophisticated system to identify every facility and ships at sea! Your count is about 100 short. Some of these locations are part of communication networks. Some are intelligence gathering sights. Some are used to preposition equipment 'just in case'. Some are early warning facilities, like the one you mentioned in Greenland.

us: looks like you in need of a little democracy

I was at a basketball tournament and the schedule said my team was playing a German team (I’m from Californian and the tournament was in Las Vegas). When we walked in and saw the team, we were surprised bc they were all American and spoke no German and had no accent. We later found out it was a team of kids that lived on a American military base in Germany.

Very interesting. While serving with the US Air Force in the 1950s. I visited a few bases outside of the US. Also while serving with the Army in the 1960s. Thanks for the info. You have given me plenty of meat to record part of my life in the military to my grandchildren and great grandchildren. My own children are not aware also. PTL.

I think the craziest part of most of our bases Is that they're in places we ravaged before. Okinawa for example, we destroyed that place & not to long ago I had a buddy stationed there. That's wild to think about.
