I thought some of the neophyte military minded members might bet a kick out of this. (Yes, you can find all of these on google maps, but this is rather neat)/

I like that one of them is just a neighborhood of military housing.

This is outdated by several years concerning Iraq, rather incomplete on Afghanistan, and lists a number of places where the US military simply has landing rights to refuel but no permanent personal as bases.

Also counts bases that may have parts not adjacent to each other(Little Creek and Fort Storey, for instance) as separate installations.
Also, counting ammo plants like Radford as bases.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

If you read the "About" link, he mentions that its an incomplete list, and invites people to point out ones he's missed.

Has he got the Darwin, NT, Australia training base?

I'm speculating here that he doesn't care about getting corrected unless it adds to the number.PhilosopherOfSorts wrote:If you read the "About" link, he mentions that its an incomplete list, and invites people to point out ones he's missed.
EDIT: Just noticed he's including decommissioned bases like NAS Dallas and Fort Wolters in Mineral Wells. So he's counting NG armories/activities as well. Real class act, this guy.

He could just do his own homework.PhilosopherOfSorts wrote:If you read the "About" link, he mentions that its an incomplete list, and invites people to point out ones he's missed.
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.

Him doing his own homework would be nice, but at a bare minimum an honest man would remove a base after someone explains to him that it's been decommissioned for twenty years.

Yup. Alternatively make it a wiki-like project where a core group of admins could keep the map up-to-date.Simon_Jester wrote:Him doing his own homework would be nice, but at a bare minimum an honest man would remove a base after someone explains to him that it's been decommissioned for twenty years.
