Tricky to "kick out" an outpost of the most powerful military in the world.

Further, you really don't want an outpost of that same military sitting in your country unpaid, worrying about their family, maybe running short of food, absolutely running short of entertainment, tension rising, and heavily armed.

Yeah, instead of pay, they should offer plane tickets home.
