We have bases there, just like we have them here. None hostile bases, there to help keep an eye on other parts far away from home. Also our presence in Japan has something to do with a treaty signed after WW2 keeping them from having a large military, and we will be there instead. I don't see it as a bad thing. Just don't think of our Japan bases as camps prepped for action. They are bases, where we are free to own cars, not wearing cammies, free to do as we want, they are "for the most part" free to come on the bases. Part of the community like they are here. Or maybe I just understood you wrong.
Thank you for the clarification. Being that I am not in the military I did not know what went on in these countries.
