But i think we have seen contradictory trends often. Again, while bases have been closed in europe, going back to the bush administration, in significant numbers bases and troops being brought home. We have also seen this increasing buildup of bases in the persian gulf. Tens of billions of gnarls to build base infrastructure in the persian gulf. Youre right, the pentagon has engaged in particular in europe, in a systemic evaluation of what bases can be closed.
