The US still has troops in Germany, Japan and Italy 73 years after the end of WWII, not as occupiers, but as friends. These countries are among the most peaceful and prosperous in the world not despite the US, but BECAUSE of the US. What's needed in the Middle East is for the US to STAY and then to help sponsor a Middle East Marshall Plan to bring peace, prosperity and stability there. Our current operations allow us to project power and influence to this end.

LOL! Hooah! Sgt! Yup, the Japanese don't like it one bit, but it was us or them. Now we are in a position to NEVER allow them to harm us again, period. That's a good damn feeling! We are friends and allies now with many countries whose former leaders were our sworn enemies. But the generosity and friendship of the American people is strong. Our need to ACTIVELY defend our freedoms and liberty necessitates our presence abroad. The Japanese can hate us and be hostile, but in the end, the only thing standing between the Japanese people and total annihilation was our sense of humanity, Hiroshima and Nagasaki included. Those bombs saved probably a million US lives and countless Japanese who would have surely perished had we needed to invade mainland Japan. Amen.
