Prayers for military members abroad and for Japanese man’s family.
Yeah, what a tragedy for both Okinawa and the US Armed Forces. This will step up the anti-US bases peals for action to shut them down for sure. But it isn’t going to happen as long as Rocket Man Lil Kim is rattling sabers.
It seems like a radical step, but I can see two different sides to it. Number one, it’s a definite demonstration of a very high level of concern on the part of USFJ, but more subtly it will have a significant financial impact on the local communities near the bases, and those people are not going to be very happy about it.
They can also be counted on to exert pressure on their local politicians to get the restriction relaxed. This is an issue that seems to get lost in the wash whenever the bases get discussed. Servicemembers and their families spend a LOT of money in the local economies.
Many businesses cater to them exclusively — especially in Okinawa. Restricting everyone to base is going to HURT.
I’m almost sure it’s a Dummycrat registered asswipe.
