Wife and I went to Okinawa last year for the first time . Loved the place , but pardon me for saying so there are way too many Americans and bases there . Still occupied more or less . The Okis share way too big a burden . Add all the sexual assaults , rapes , etc. over the years it is no wonder they want the Yanks to go home .
When Japan lost WW2 they were told they have to give X% of land to the US for military bases. They gave 80% to Okinawa. Okinawans already hated Japense...and now they hate them even more.
Which is why out of all the countries we have a presence in it’s only Okinawa that has so many rape cases. Not saying all claims are false, but what really happens is a young women has sex with a military service member...her family finds out...she feels shame and claims it’s rape.
