Flipping the table creates terrorism, ie every instance of the US occupying foreign territories...
Not every instance, Western Europe and Japan post war were pretty smooth transitioning out of occupation.
I think the difference is that with them the US had actually fully subdued the enemy force in question before switching to occupation mode
The victor is not victorious until the vanquished considers themself so.
