It is very likely that these bases will never be closed. I will not be surprised at all, it is expected that only the fall of the empire will close the bases or stop the slaughter of innocents around the globe.
However, it is a good way to measure the man Obama and if he does want "change".
He could save billions by getting our troops out of Europe and Asia as just a start. Who could argue that America needs a base in Japan or Korea? Do these bases keep us "safe"? Could we spend that money on our own poor?
Who would argue that we must have troops in Germany to protect this country? Does a base in Germany really protect Atlanta or Reno?
