American University professor David Vine is the co-author of a new report that found at least 37 million people in eight countries have been forced to flee their homes since the start of the U.S.-led, so-called Global War on Terrorism in 2001. “I think most people in the United States, myself included, have not really reckoned with the total damage that these wars have caused,” says Vine. The U.S. currently has 800 military bases around the world, “more bases than any nation in world history,” he notes. “These bases have not only enabled war, not only made war possible, but they’ve actually made war more likely — made war a far too-easy-policy choice.”
