An Intercept investigation found 63 U.S. bases, garrisons, and shared facilities in the region. U.S. troops are “sitting ducks,” according to one expert.

      I think they’re only secret in the sense that the US does not officially recognize them on record

        I know this asking about a distinction without a difference, but is it because these are all technically PMC contractors, or is it a JSOC thing where it’s an open secret but all classified?
