Over 2,500 Okinawans rally against sexual assaults by US military personnel - The Mainichi
More than 2,500 people gathered here on Dec. 22 to protest against a spate of sexual assaults by U.S. servicemen stationed in Okinawa Prefecture, according to organizers.
People overflowed to outside of the venue at the civic center in the city of Okinawa. Participants deemed the Japanese and U.S. governments as primarily responsible for ensuring that such incidents are not repeated, and adopted a resolution calling for the prevention of a recurrence and demanding an apology and compensation for the victims.
Look up atrocities committed by the U.S. military and you'll start understanding why other countries may not view us favorably. We've committed some pretty awful war crimes. Mai Lai Massacre comes to mind. There's pictures to go with that one.
Yeah this is mostly about drunk Marines and what happens when you create a fighting force designed to be as angry and blood thirsty as possible.

M uscles A re R equired I ntelligence N ot E ssentialI lived in Hiroshima for a bit and it was close enough to Iwakuni that I grew my hair out so I wouldn't be mistaken for a marine on leave. There were a bunch of places they weren't welcome or needed to be in the company of a Japanese person.
