While looking for the World Beyond War book about "A Global Security System" I found another mapping approach to seeing the #MilitaryBases of the #BaseNation #USA. It reminded of work by #DavidVine

The #BaseNation book by #DavidVine is important and I forgot it a bit. Thertags on earlier posts let me find the on-line pages and maps from on this Fediverse account. At the Free Night School there are gatherings to see on-line maps and hear talks about foreign countries. A camouflage (hiding?) expert from the nearby Japanese military (Self Defense? 自衛隊) base does events too. Organizers asked me to join the camouflage events. It's interesting but I get qualms.
