The US Military is in those countries at the invitation of those country's governments. Yup, even Iraq could tell the US to leave, and it's a contentious issue there whether or not they should. But like many countries on that map there's concerns that a neighbouring country might cause problems if the US leaves. And the countries that don't fall under that category are allies.

And how many of those governments are only in power because they are backed by US military power, otherwise their population would have removed them? Or were put into power by the US in the first place (either with direct military intervention or indirect military, intelligence, and covert op support)?
