re: Are there foreign militaries in the United States?

While in the Marines I did a 2 year tour of I&I duty at Lackland Air Force Base and they have an Intel school that's full of training foreign military officers, most notably, Iraq, for some reason. I remember a big stink being made about some air force kid, recruit maybe, punching an Iraqi officer in the chow hall and him getting court martialed for it. I believe he ended up with quite a lot of time in Leavenworth.

I've not read this whole thread, but it seems logical to assume we have bases all over the world (and others don't in the US) for the same reason that neither of the World Wars were fought on US soil. We are pretty segregated geographically from recent theatres of war.
Logistically, why would the UK need a base in the US? (the same can't be said for the US in the UK, where in the past eastern europe has been a hot zone, and now the middle east).
