It seems to them and a lot of people who have spent time overseas at these bases that they are a good thing to have. I have heard that a lot of little disputes between countries have been resolved with a few small words, America can remove the bases unless you side with us. It may be more important for you to have more cash, but all the cash in the world won’t mean dick if we are taken over. Those bases also provide tons of intelligence for the US, and not just poor intelligence like WMD in Iraq, I am talking about good intelligence. > > This is one of the few things I disagree strongly against how Ron Paul thinks. I know you think that removing the bases and our people from the other countries will stop the hatred, but it will do nothing. Having people over there on the ground giving first hand feedback is what will allow us to stop a lot of things that may happen. > > I may show up to a meet at some point, maybe. :love: If this is true, why did Ron Paul get more donations from active duty military members than all of the other candidates combined? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mccains-lobbyist-friend/195652)._
