I agree that WW2 era occupations were fairly nebulously-defined. However, the "US never honors its promises when it comes to withdrawal" is a gross mischaracterisation.

The U.S. military base system on Okinawa is a part of a bilateral agreement with the Japanese government. Although unpopular with Okinawans, multiple successive Tokyo governments have approved expansions to the original bases, including one this year. [1]

To my knowledge the only forcibly-held U.S. base is the one in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

I can't go with "never". I can't even go with "usually", unless you've got a study that lists promises of US withdrawl and which promises were kept.

But I can agree that there was, quite recently, a promise of withdrawl from Afghanistan, and even more recently, a "no we won't".
