The United States has hundreds of bases overseas, including many in allied or friendly countries. Surely, we could close at least a few of them. Closing some redundant bases alone is a cost-saving measure, but we can go further. Close a small number of military bases, use the soldiers at those bases to fill gaps at other bases, especially where a job is being done by a contractor that could just as effectively be done by a soldier. Any soldiers and administrators left over could be brought home and put to work improving our failing infrastructure- paving roads, shoring up failing land development projects, or modernizing our outdated power grid.
