I know that the answer is probably "no". I have certainly never heard of any, but have heard of plenty of US military bases in other countries. Does the US perhaps share some bases within its borders with military from other nations?

no there are no other nations that have military bases on US soil. the reason for this comes from our history,
the Monroe doctrine: given by president monroe this doctrine said that should european nations interfere with the americas the US would stop them.
spanish american war we drove the spanish empire from the caribeen and pacific ending there imperialism
WW1 was fought in europe, we intervened and helpped the Allies defeat the central powers
WW2 we became the "armory of democracy" and the leading producers of the western nations, we came out stronger then anyother nation (soley beacuse of the A-Bomb) and our industrial infastructure survived without damage. (no battles fough at home) we took over control of western germany (along with france and england, and took over military control of Japan
we made military bases there because those nations werent allowed to have militaries for awhile
Cold war: the formation of NATO (north atlantic treaty organization) and the Warsaw pact (communist regime led by russians) russia outporduced all of western europe in bot men and materail essential to war, the battles would be fought in europe so america signed many treaties with NATO nations and made military bases in Italy beligum, and the netherlands (along with exsisting bases in Germany)
Gulfwar I: after the conclussion of this war we made bases in Kuwait to help safe guard them against future attack
our history has us bailing people out of situations though weve never annexed territory since the Spanish american war we have always kept military personal in said countries to help bolster there ranks
this is a short breakdown, you can garner more information by study of the lend lease act (we got several accomidations from the british, iceland, and green land).

If you are born to 1 US citizen then you are a US citizen. You may have dual citizenship in the US until 18, However. Any land with an American flag is sovereign American territory as per old world laws which still stand today. All US military bases are treated like ships with colors in the morning and at night so they are American territory. I have heard this claim from some Obama supporters. The claim that Obama isn't a born US citizen is more credible than the ones claiming McCain isn't.

To the best of my knowledge the answer is no.
The US has a presence world wide for various reasons. Most are WWII and The Cold War related. Bases were built in Japan so we would be able to monitor and control Japan's switch over to Democratic rule.
Germany, England, and the European countries for the most part either to monitor conditions for rebuilding after WWII or Forward Operating Bases during the Cold War.
Korea - Constructed after the Korean War to support South Korean Troops if the North decides to attack again.

The German Army Air Defense School is on Fort Bliss Texas.
They share the training areas and school with the US Army Air Defense School.

THE WORLD IS LITTERED WITH AMERICAN MILITARY BASES.
NO FOREIGN COUNTRY HAS BASES ON AMERICAN SOIL.
WE NEVER HAVE HAD THE NEED TO BE PROTECTED BY ANOTHER COUNTRY.
WE HAVE NEVER LOST A WAR ON OUR SOIL SO WE HAVEN'T BEEN FORCED TO ACCEPT A FOREIGN BASE ON OUR LAND.
ON THE OTHER HAND MOST OF THE BASES THAT WE HAVE ABROAD ARE A RESULT OF @SS WHIPPINGS THAT HAVE BEEN LAID DOWN BY THE USA ON OTHER COUNTRIES. SOME COUNTRIES THAT NEED TO BE PROTECTED ASK FOR OUR BASES. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST LIKE IN FRANCE ALLOT OF THE TOWNS AROUND THE OLDER MILITARY BASES WOULD STARVE IF WE LEFT THUS WE KEEP OUR BASES IN ORDER TO HELP THE LOCAL ECONOMY AND USUALLY AT THE BEHEST OF THE LEADERS OF THE COUNTRY.

We have foreign military people on our bases, but mainly for training purposes. I don't think we have "foreign " bases.

We train many foreign soldiers here, and i would bet that some from countries like England are more or less "stationed" here.
