Considering the number of bases we have in numerous foreign countries, I suppose an argument could be made that we're "occupying" a number of countries.
Not that that's a bad thing IMO.
"Not that that's a bad thing IMO."
It's not a good thing. All it does is expand our defense responsibilites far beyond the United States (one of the symptoms of "empireitis") and takes the slack off of our "allies" to defend themselves. The lackluster (to put it mildly) performance of the "Iraqi" military is proof of this.
