I think a world map would be even more effective: Virtually all of the US's operations have been in the middle east.

Did you forget about central america? Africa? we are literally fucking everywhere. It's a stupid plan to just police the world.

Even in Latam and Africa the US hasn't deployed with anything even approaching the scale and dispersion that they have in the middle east. There's no continent where the US hasn't deployed in even one or two places, but it's rarely many troops and rarely for long.

Nope.

"Virtually" all of the US's operations have been in the middle east. Ie. "Almost" all. And they have been.

  • In SEA the US was officially involved in one country, Vietnam, and unofficially involved in another two, Cambodia and Laos.

  • NEA, one country, Korea.

  • Europe, Former Yugoslavia.

  • Caribbean, one country, Grenada.

  • Latam, a bit murkier, but officially pretty much just Panama if we're talking conventional military operations.

  • Africa: With the exception of Libya and Zaire, that's covered by the OP.

  • Central Asia: Afghanistan. Again, arguably part of the middle east.
