That's not counting the nearly 5000 private contractors - we used to call them mercenaries - still in Iraq providing security for various US assets there.
Nor does this consider the USMC contingent guarding the US embassy.
As for the "war on (some) drugs," ask anyone who has had their door kicked in by mistake by police conducting military style raids, I'm sure the victims of such will draw parallels between the currently accepted police actions and military raids in Afghanistan.
As for "cyberwar," the very fact that global communications are being intercepted and catalogued by adjuncts of the US DoD illustrates that cyberwarfare is being perpetrated on many more entities besides "Iran and China."
- pilsetnieks 13y agoThe USMC guards all American embassies so it's no indication in itself for being at war with a country.
- rdouble 13y agoThere are American troops almost everywhere. Robert Kaplan's books "Imperial Grunts" and "Monsoon" detail their current involvement in Columbia, Philippines, Mongolia, Iraq, Afghanistan and stations all around the Indian Ocean.
