We and the Italians fought for YEARS and now we're Besties.
We and the Germans fought for YEARS and now we're Besties.
Well, as long as you tell us that both Italy and Japan are loaded with US Forces, and who knows what the deal is, you will do fine.
It is possible that neither the Italians or the Japanese have a say in our forces.
It hit me recently that as far as Japan goes, we bombed the living shit out of them.
Imagine if you will if Americans cities were bombed to ruin by the Japanese, how good a pal would we see them having military bases in the USA? What does Japan and Italy actually want from the USA military?
The US military has a significant presence in both Italy and Japan, with bases stationed in each country, allowing for close cooperation and joint military exercises with both nations; in Italy, the US military primarily operates out of bases like Aviano Air Base and Naval Support Activity Naples, while in Japan, the US military presence is centered around various installations on Okinawa and Honshu islands, including the US Forces Japan (USFJ) headquarters.
