Yeah but I don't think they realize that we care more about Okinawa than the Japanese do. Think about it. Okinawa is the poorest prefecture in Japan, for a reason. They get little to no funding from the government of Japan because Okinawans aren't Japanese so why should they give a fuck? Fuck, it took like 20 years to finally build a monorail in the capital city... There's 3 generations of Okinawans rolling around right now.. The WW2 generation that remembers what Okinawa was like when it was independent and the Japanese invaded, the middle aged generation that sees America as a cancer and occupiers and the younger generation who generally like Americans. The WW2 generation is dieing off and the middle aged haters are in power, blabbing about stupid shit they have no control over to other middle aged haters. I'm pretty sure the more Okinawa bitches to Japan about US bases the less and less Japan will want to get rid of them.. |

I get what you are saying, but the way you say it is the exact same way as saying the the guy who sells the gun to the killer, is also a killer......he is just doing a job to get by....make money live and survive..... And im sorry, but if you belive that those in the military are indirectly killing ppl, then you might as well as consider yourself a killer if you support our military...i mean, thats how it works in the military...we support each other...got ppl that pay us our paychecks, cook food, hospital, load bombs, base defense, and the list goes on and on...and if you group all of those ppl into being "indirect" killers becuase they support the guy on the field in some indirect way like myself...you might as well, as group the supporters of those same ppl as indirect killers too... and if you group american citizens who support our troops into the indirect killer catagorie as you have done with those in the military, then you pretty much made yourself, and whomever else supports our military "indirect killers"...and if you cant face that fact head on, then maybe you might wanna start joining anti-american groups, or maybe some other hippie group out there..... the bush hate wagon is another good group for ya btw....

Geez another thread turned into debate about the morality of the military.
Listen people. The military is there to provide us all with a sense of comfort that we can sleep well at night knowing that tomorrow there isn't some foreign country trying to occupy the U.S. without our military forces stopping them. Their just like everyone else, except they do a job that not a lot of people can see themselves doing. Same for the cops, the feds, and any other law enforcement their there for a cause and that's to protect their local community from the everyday murderers, thieves, rapists, and any other law breaking ass mofos. And guess what, shit they kill sometimes too. And oh yeah let me let you in on a little secret. shhhhh................ The military doesn't make decisions on where they go. The politicians do. So from now on when you see a group of protesters outside a military base, stop, get out of your car, and tell them to complain to the upper chain of command. Which is the pentagon and the white house. I'm out. |

Day 10: Still on lock down...they will review the order on Monday the 3rd. Figured didnt wanna let the animals out till after payday week end.
Also, that article koopa posted is pretty interesting...check out the numbers in the bottom on how many rapes and sexual related incidents they've had for that year.... But what this whole thing comes down to is politics. They've been talking about moving the marines off this island for decades. They've already made an agreement on that. The problem is, the agreement states that the japanese is going to pay to move the 8000 marines off this island. Theyve been dragging their feet at it because they dont wanna front the money. Using these incidents as leverage to force the US to pay for it ourselves. Yah right, good luck on that one... To make things better is, do you really think the mainlanders gives 2 shits about okinawa? They didnt back in WWII and they still dont in 2008. Theres a reason this is the poorest Japanese Prefecture... |

Koopa, the U.S. would never let another country build military bases on its soil, you should be thankful that the Okinawans even let you live on their land, mainly because they don't have any say in it, but instead of complaining just focus on doing your job well and set a good example. I hate when people visit a different country and act like they're better than everyone just because they're from America and expect girls to automatically jump all over them and think they're above the law and deserve to be treated like kings. You're supposed to be humble and obey all the laws and thank the people for accepting you to live within their culture because you're just an outsider and you always will be, don't complain about their mentality or how they run things even if you may disagree.

63...thats probably DUIs since thats the biggest problem we (SOFA) have on island. Well whole okinawa really, Okinawa statiscally doubles the DUI rate that they have in the mainland.
Anyways, Are you serious? 63 offenses for the year considering theres over 42,000 SOFA personnels in this island? Thats .0015%. Again, most of it is from DUI where an alcohol content of .03 will get you arrested off-base. If you estimate the number of Okinawans (roughly 1.3M) and use that against the number of arrest they've had (over 4k), their arrest rate is .003 which double the SOFA arrest rate. The kicker is the guy is already getting grilled, the prosecution is yet to bring charges against him (whatever happend to innocent till proven guilty???). Word is that there is no sign of sexual intercourse on the girl so no she wasnt raped. Another rumor thats been going around was this "13 yr old" was picked up by JP police for prostitution not too long ago. The theory is that the guy knows the girl personally from the red light district and was a paying customer, he didnt know that she was underage. |

The U.S. on the other hand has never been occupied by a foreign country. Which would explain the lack of foreign military bases. HOWEVER, there are plenty of foreign military members using our bases for joint training. We won 50 states by fighting dirty and fucking people over. I'll be damned if someone else occupies it. However the U.S. has also won land because other countries fought dirty and fucked people over. Do you honestly think the United States doesn't belong in Japan? If we weren't there how long do you think Japan would last before China kicked the shit out of them for removing everything they did to China in WW2 out of their history books? These numbers are from a member on another forum and are apparently quoted from a local newspaper.. Quote:

The principal thing that most people forget is that beneath the uniform, Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen/Marines are still people, and that a lot of people are fucking douchebags.
For some reason, it's always more visible when a service member commits an act like this, rather than a convenience store clerk or something. |

Yeah because like anyone who wears a uniform we're considered professionals and are to be expected to adhere to a strict code of conduct.
Not a problem for most people but some people are just fuckin' morons and the people the grew up with failed them, weither it be their parents, teachers, peers or siblings... A drill instructor and good NCO's can only do so much for someone. |

I brought this up from the dead for you jerkoffs and thanks for the negative rep whoever did that. well first of all there is a difference between murder and defending yourself. I would only kill if my life was threatened. me being in the mil have all the training and infact i do enter rooms for a living and only kill if i have to that does not make us murders. thats why i said WTF. so whoever decided to neg rep me for me bringing this up. go to hell.
