61. and how many contries do we take by force and run?

we do not and we do leave when asked. When was the last time the USA invaded and occupied a country or part of a country and made it a part of the USA by annexation?

Schweinfurt’s closing is the latest piece of the U.S. military’s realignment in Europe, aimed at significantly reducing and consolidating America’s footprint across the continent.

Philippines Orders U.S. to Leave Strategic Navy Base at Subic Bay

The Philippines told the United States today that it must withdraw from the Subic Bay naval base by the end of 1992, ending a vast American military presence that began with the capture of the islands from Spain in 1898.

The decision, which resulted from an impasse in negotiations, follows a year of intense talks between the countries on the fate of American bases in the Philippines. The announcement also comes just three days before President Bush begins a 12-day Asian tour.
