Technically, WWII is not over. We only agreed to a cease-fire. And we still have troops stationed in Japan and Germany.
Actually you are mistaken - Japan fully surrendered his military forces. The US has troops stationed there on the invitation of the Japanese government. Germany, after May 1945, unconditionally surrendered to both the Americans and the Russians and the French and the English. The US has troops stationed there due to fears in the 50's that the Russians would take over all of Germany.
But in both cases, clear as day, both sides unconditionally surrendered (although Japan was not forced to surrender the Emperor). True, an armistice was first declared between Germany and the US, but after the instrument of surrender was signed, the governments of Germany and Japan came under direct rule by the winning side, for a number of years. Both in name and in practice, both German and Japan surrendered. This is why the Nazi party no longer exists (and is illegal in Germany), and why Germany and Japan are currently helping the US in its military endevours (Germany's got troops in Afghanistan and the Japanese Self Defense Force helps refuel US ships near Iraq).
