I can kinda understand America occupying Japan after the 2nd World War, but there is ZERO need for them to be in Japan in the 21st century, or Korea for that matter. Let these countries defend themselves, and if they need help, they'll ask for it.

I think you will find that under the surrender conditions that were signed after WWII the US has a legal responsibility to defend Japan since they are no longer allowed to maintain an army of sufficient size to defend themselves. as far as bases elsewhere is concerned they are just looking out of their own political interests, anyone in the same position would have something similar setup.
