After two decades, and many failed counterterrorism efforts, the Trump administration is considering shuttering U.S. Africa Command.
The U.S. military has 29 known military bases in 15 of the African countries.
The House passed a bill that sounds good, but doesn’t end Washington's failed, militarized approach or get to root problems.

The recent U.S. deployment of special operations forces to Syria expands a global U.S. battlefield that is at a historic size. This year, special ops have been sent to a record 147 countries—75 percent of the nations on the planet. It’s a 145 percent increase from the days of George W. Bush. And it means that on any given day elite U.S. forces are on the ground in 70 to 90 countries.
