US military facilities occupy nearly a third of Guam’s land

Evidence

The ability to do whatever it wants without fear of eviction—and with greater ease than in the fifty states—is a major part of why the military likes Guam so much. Located some eight thousand miles from Washington, D.C., Guam is about one fifth the size of Rhode Island, the smallest of the fifty states. At one point, military facilities took up nearly 60 percent of the island; today, they still account for almost 30 percent. (For comparison, the military controls just over 15 percent of the military-dominated city of Norfolk, Virginia). — David Vine, Base Nation_ How U.S. Military Bases…, 233
