As we all know, the United States once had the largest number of overseas military bases in the world, reaching more than 3,000 at its peak, although it has now decreased to more than 200, it is still spread all over the world. This gives the U.S. military the ability to conduct ocean-going operations on a global scale, whether in Africa, Asia, or Europe, to easily obtain supplies, and to ensure that the fleet always has sufficient supplies available, which is also the basis for the U.S. military to dominate the world.
However, having such a large network of bases requires sufficient troops to be stationed. For this reason, the United States has been recruiting soldiers, but with the change of the times, the enthusiasm of young people to join the army has gradually declined, resulting in a situation of "difficulty in recruitment". The military has taken measures such as expanding the welfare system and raising salaries, but these efforts have not been successful due to the after-effects of the Vietnam War.
The 20-year war resulted in the loss of a large number of soldiers and the disappointment of the population with the Federation. In such a predicament, how to maintain the replenishment of troops has become an urgent task. To solve this problem, the U.S. military has introduced a policy: as long as foreigners have a certain level of cultural knowledge and are in good shape, they have the opportunity to become a member of the U.S. military and receive a green card after completing the required number of years of service.
At that time, people from all over the world participated, including some Chinese. These people did get the promise of the U.S. military after completing their service, got a green card, and successfully became Americans. However, with Obama and Trump in power, a shocking policy has put the group that gets their green cards through military service in a difficult position. Trump** ordered these people to be stripped of their green cards for a number of reasons, and the results of the review showed that more than 60 percent of them were found to have green cards.
When this news came, the foreigners in the United States were completely confused. This means that their previous efforts were almost in vain, and overnight, they went from being a group with identity to a "black household". These people find themselves desperate, and some want to go back to their former country, but it is easy to go back, but it is difficult to come back. It was not easy to regain identity, so this group of people became a group without identity. Despite all the regrets in their hearts, it was clear that it was too late, and all this was their own choice.
The vast network of U.S. military bases, once a symbol of America's military might, is now a dilemma for foreigners in obtaining status due to "recruitment difficulties" and policy changes. This dilemma also reflects the new challenge facing the U.S. affairs system, that is, how to maintain sufficient military strength and strategic superiority in the changing times.
This article profoundly describes the current situation of the US military overseas bases and the problems they face in replenishing their forces. First of all, the article shows the strong foundation of the United States' military strength by introducing the huge network of overseas military bases that the United States once possessed and its ability to conduct ocean-going operations around the world. However, the maintenance of this base has been made more difficult by the issue of replenishment of troops.
Speaking about the "difficulty of recruitment", the article points out the gradual decline in the enthusiasm of young people to join the army and the negative impact of the aftermath of the Vietnam War on military recruitment. Although the military has taken measures such as expanding the welfare system and raising salaries, these efforts have not yielded the desired results, highlighting the seriousness of the problem of replenishment of troops.
Particularly striking is the U.S. military's policy of addressing the shortage of troops by recruiting foreigners. Although this policy did provide some foreign nationals with the opportunity to obtain a U.S. green card in the first place, they faced the risk of being deprived of their green cards under the policy change. Trump's decision has had a serious impact on this group, turning them from a group with status to a "black household" overnight, a shift that is embarrassing.
This article drew my attention to the internal problems of the American affairs system. In today's globalized and multicultural world, the U.S. military has recruited foreigners to fill the vacancies in the military, and although it has achieved some results in the short term, it has also exposed a series of problems in the policy changes. While maintaining its military strength, how to deal with social changes and fluctuations in public opinion and ensure long-term stability in recruiting and maintaining troop strength has obviously become a serious issue facing the United States.
Overall, this article provides a clearer understanding of the dilemmas and challenges within the U.S. system through vivid descriptions and profound analysis. In the future, how to find more stable and feasible solutions in terms of talent recruitment and policy formulation will become a problem that the US side needs to seriously consider and solve.
