Usually (though there are some exceptions) with their permission. It’s usually to extend the range and decrease the response time of the US military, but it’s also to bolster allies. They also bring a lot of business to those areas as the deployed soldiers leave base frequently to live life. They aren’t hostile (to the host).

Not only with their permission. In many cases at the request of the host country. Plenty of countries would like to host a US base.
In South Korea, the soldiers have a curfew imposed by the base and Korean government because of the high frequency of rape.
My personal experience with soldiers in South Korea and Japan have been… Mostly negative. They are arrogant shitheads most of the time.
All of that said, I understand that isn’t a US policy issue, more than a military culture issue.
We didn’t ask Germany and Japan IIRC my 20th century history.
You cracked the case
