Just commenting due to my childhood nostalgia. I grew up on Air Force military bases so, I have fond memories of there. I loved seeing all the fighter jets practice overhead. Fun times for me.

The U.S. actually had the power at one point to rule the world, after WWII the United States had vast swaths of land under its control, but opted to give "most" of those territories back.

Imperialist terrorists. Seeking regime change wherever they go. Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan... Syria will not fall in the same manner.

"The US is the most powerful country to have ever existed" ...... is there any evidence to back up this bizarre statement or is this video just compiled by yet another stupid American?
Just In case you were wondering, the implication that there are many "stupid Americans" out there stems from factual data lifted from the annual global education league tables complied by the United Nations and reported around the world each and every year (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-32608772)
Do you want to know why so many countries dislike you America.... its because you are so ignorant to your own failings and have a seemingly endless reserve of self-importance. When it comes to proper-gander and misleading its citizens into thinking how great they are Kim Jong Un wishes he was half as effective as America. -
I think Trump should take a look at that.
-
If US dont have military bases,. Russia will invade Europe. Also China will take over Asia under a day.
-
You still didn't answer the question.
-
800 doesn't sound that bad right? That's only like one hand...full...of...dust particles....
-
Because there are 800 locations around the world that want to kill the US
