Ron Paul mentions 700 bases worldwide. Where can I find data on the numbers of bases, cost, location, etc?

Question

I get the universal "that's impossible" response and have no data to cite.

Answer 1

Since Ron Paul has mentioned it, ask him - his staff will have that data.

He's probably including consulates, embassies and other facilities that house US personnel; -- NOT just military bases..  

Answer 2

you'll have to do some research but this is a good place to start

Answer 3

Read this. And great question.

We actually have 737 bases overseas, and currently building more in Iraq/Afghanistan.
