I'm fairly sure there's historical and cultural reasons for the Okinawa bases being disliked amongst the locals. There was like a little war thingy you may have heard of, I believe it was the second of its' series.

Anyway.

I'm from one of those countries where NATO troops and equipment get stationed. Most locals seem to be grateful, I know I am. Putin will be too scared to make any moves if there are both American AND British troops in our bases.

Eastern Europe would be the probable exception, due to the ever threat of Russian invasion.

(As for the Okinawan bases... I think all the sexual assault has something to do with it, beyond the fighting in the Second World War.)
