Ok, "unwashed bumpkin", I'll let you in on a little secret: Germany and Japan weren't hostile when we occupied them. Unless you can cite me some evidence of thousands of American GIs dying in guerrilla movements in either of those countries after their regimes fell.

Japan wasn't, because in exchange for letting him remain Emperor, and for not continueing to Nuke his country, Hirohito went on the radio, almost unheard of for their God to speak to them directly, and commanded his subjects to lay down their arms and cooperate.
Some Germans however did remain hostile. Ever hear of Werewolves. Much like the few remaining Baathists in Iraq, these were hold out Nazis, Hitler Youth, and SS troops. Of course the Germans did not have nations still friendly to the Nazis on it's borders, as Iraq has at least two nations giving support to the "insurgents"/terrorists.
Different situation entirely.
