Wow, I don't know what country you are from, but I have yet to hear that from the local nationals from where I was stationed!! Sure, the American presence can be a burden to countries, but with out the US Armed Forces there, we would be having countries changing names at the drop of a hat i.e. Yugoslavia.
If you live in Europe, you should be thanking the US, now start paying tribute. If you live in asia and the middle east, do not come crying to us!
