Yeah, I found the link Mike provided after clicking on one of the wiki links. It's a much more detailed list, so use that one. :)

And 'cause of all the truck-driving, knife-wielding manics!

From Wikipedia.org:

Occupation of Japan [after WWII]:

Accomplishments of the Occupation

Disarmament
"Japan's postwar constitution, adopted under Allied supervision, included a "Peace Clause" (Article 9), which renounced war and banned Japan from maintaining any armed forces. This was intended to prevent the country from ever becoming an aggressive military power again..."

And they say the Constitution is outdated..... Japan is one of our greatest trading partners and assist us in achieving social and economic goals. Their monetary policy is remarkably better then ours (until recently, they were experiencing creeping DEFLATION) and have a plethora of USB humping dogs for Americans.

The Department of Defense even boasts (https://www.defense.gov/Our-Story/) that its “locations” include 164 countries - 84% of the nations on this planet

The beginning of the end of empire's expansive bases?

Trump, on behalf of broke empire, seeks to Extort Tribute from Vassals for Privilege of being Occupied. (https://news.antiwar.com/2019/03/08/cost-plus-50-trump-wants-hosts-of-us-troops-to-pay-a-premium-over-cost/)

Trump is now insisting on “cost plus 50." (https://outline.com/zszccp) … the administration wants 100% of the cost of US troop “hosting” to be covered by the other nation, and another 50% given to the US on top of that for the privilege of [being occupied]. … it’s unlikely a lot of them will be either inclined to do so, or in some cases literally able to bear such a cost....

100 percent seems good to me . If they say no then send us home . Now the extra 50 on top seems a little like extortion .....
