We don't necessarily need bases everywhere, but at least US embassy. They help citizens of the U.S. in case they have any trouble with the foreign government as well as hosting U.S. dignitaries.

Some countries do need bases, that's for sure. The middle east are big ones, after what they did to our country and the state they are currently in, they need a helping hand. The Al Qieda could easily take over and the same war would happen all over again. Not to mention half the world hates us, bases provide us self defense and multiple ways into or out of wars if needed.

Most of the bases we currently have were agreements in treaties after war, such as Germany and japan. Those are the bases we wouldn't needed anymore. There government and armies are built back up that they can protect them self now.

Lol Why do you think half the world hates us?... Because we go and put bases into their countries so that we can “help” them, aka run things the way WE think they should be run. Saying these countries need a helping hand is just a sad excuse that Im surprised people actually believe for us to get in there and take control. Really, it’s none of our business. Going in and invading an entire country over what a few crazy people did? Nah, I cant justify that.

Whatever the reasons you have bases in other countries, even if they are good reasons and you want to help the people the people will never think like that. To most civilians its just another occupation force that wants to control them.
