They won't leave Europe just because there is no 'NATO', they're staying due to two things:

1. They have a large sector in Germany to watch over. This requires check-points, men to man them (soldiers, preferably armed), men to police these men (MPs), Jeeps, Fuel, Bases, Tanks, Airplanes, all for security. That's like saying the British would leave the Mainland right after defeating Hitler. They had a sector to guard as well. So did the French and the Soviets had the sector that made the Berlin Wall.

2. They're protecting Europe from the Red Menace, which is a big scary monster behind the Iron Curtain. The threat of Authoritarianism is the curtain rod, and there is still Spain under Franco to worry about. Though Italy was defeated, the Pope has to be protected from the East, those Godless Commies are gonna get him otherwise [XD].

Maybe one more, let me think while this makes it's way onto the AH.com servers.

But if you want the US to leave, just have the Colonies/Dominions of Europe looks after the bill of war. Let the US go semi-isolationist, guarding the East Cold-War Front from a Chinese Communist Catastrophe.
