  Perhaps we should focus on military bases. Analyzing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_military_bases http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_military_..., there seem to be US military bases in 29 countries/territories: Afghanistan, Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cuba, Diego Garcia, Germany, Greece, Greenland, Guam, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kosovo/Serbia, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Phillipines, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, The Netherlands, Turkey, United Kingdom Air force: Afghanistan, Australia, Bulgaria, Germany, Greenland, Guam, Italy, Japan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Taiwan, The Netherlands, Philippines, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, Army: Bulgaria, Germany, Iraq, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Kosovo/Serbia, South Korea, Israel Marines: Afghanistan, Germany, Japan, Kuwait Navy: Diego Garcia, Brazil, Cuba, Spain, Japan, Guam, Bahrain, Italy, Greece, South Korea

    Or just the number of countries that have more than 100 or 1000 personnel, which the prior Wikipedia article had a map of.

      I considered that, but that map is from 2007 and doesn't have a source, so that distinction risks sounding more certain than it is. Troop movements are more fluid once a base is in place. 20 or 30, the number of countries isn't 150. Which was the main point.

        Please keep in mind that I'm not disagreeing with you, just noting that alternate information comes to a similar answer ("far fewer than 150").
