I'm well aware of our strong military presence in Germany and Japan (and throughout the world, which is among my reasons for alleging the U.S. is an imperial power).
But a military presence is not a military occupation. Admittedly, I'm not the biggest student of WWII history: Did we really occupy Japan for a significant length of time? (Of course, saying we occupy Iraq is a bit of a misnomer, because I believe we only really occupy Baghdad.)
