Compare the US forces in Japan on a per-capita basis after WWII to those in Iraq today, and it becomes clear why the Pentagon acknowledges that large swaths of the country are being effectively held by Terrorist Fucks.

Not that I advocate this as part of our modern foreign policy, but to be fair we also nuked Japan twice. It's safe to say they were a lot more passive as a result, not to mention the cultural stigma they felt having "lost face" as a society for supporting the aggression of their former military leadership.
