> Do you think Japan, Germany, or South Korea have any choice whether our military can occupy their countries?

Yes, they 100% have a choice. Why do you think otherwise? They're US allies and they benefit from the situation.

Another poster pointed out that they benefit from this arrangement by not having to spend so much on their domestic militaries to protect themselves.

Another point: in the case of South Korea and Germany, the US military helps protect those countries from the real threats of invasion. South Korea is still technically at war. For 50 years US soldiers eyed Soviet soldiers across the inner German border, and closely worked with West Germany and NATO to be prepare if those soldiers ever crossed over.

You have a very odd, binary perspective on international relations that seems to preclude win-win military cooperation.
