True. While it is more convenient to have bases, outside of Korea, it's hard to imagine one of our bases being in just the right spot to stop opponent X. The threat matrix has changed over time..
Agreed, we should have more bases along the Mexican border.

Right on except I'd have army troops in hummers instead of ICE jeeps.

The M1A1 Abrams 120 mm gun has a range of 12 km. The border with Mexico is 3169 km.
If one Abrams was set every 24 km, then we'd would need 132 tanks to kill anything crossing the border.
Currently US Army operates nearly 4 400 of these tanks.
