U.S. personnel wounded in attack against base in Iraq, officials say

Reprisals should occur. Nothing illegal about the US presence in Iraq.

Which narrative?

this could be avoided is US personnel was at home in USA.

I fully know the difference. Iran and their terrorists are the illegal presence in Iraq.

So, they, the U. S. forces, have bases in Iraq. What's their justification for being stationed in Iraq, maintaining bases and personnel there? Is it the Iraqi government or the U.S. government that pays base maintenance costs?

War on terrorism stuff. Whether that is Sunni or Shia terrorism is up for debate.

Dunno, but every bilateral relationship is different. Japan most likely does not get a 2000 soldier force while taking back the bases in Okinawa.
