Well, to be honest, both World Wars were Germany's fault, so it kind of made sense keeping them in check and making sure they won't try for the third time. Of course Soviet Union then quickly overshadowed them as a threat. Right now that NATO expanded to the East, Germany are not frontier country anymore, so the only way American troops make sense there is again, as occupying army.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I > The first decade of the 20th century saw increasing diplomatic tension between the European great powers. This reached a breaking point on 28 June 1914, when a Bosnian Serb named Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. Austria-Hungary held Serbia responsible, and declared war on 28 July. Russia came to Serbia's defence, and by 4 August, defensive alliances had drawn in Germany, France, and Britain, with the Ottoman Empire joining the war in November.
