I would like to see the comments on this string shared with our friends in Japan, especially Okinawa. Can someone arrange that?
I think the majority of Japanese understand that this trio is not representative of Americans in general and that Americans don't condone this kind of behavior.
The Japanese that want the U.S. military out of Okinawa and/or Japan know this too, but love to use this case as a big stick to beat the military with. It truly is their Abu Ghurayb.
