General McKee, the USAF general that was CIC in that area stationed at Okinawa, was the only military man with the guts to send fighter jets without civilian politician approval to rescue the Pueblo in 1968. His orders were to blow all the surrounding boats out of the water if they were not in the harbor...the jets got there five minutes too late. If we remove the fighters in Japan and Okinawa, the area will be a sitting duck for Chinese and NK incursions. The Japanese will rue the day.

Then we pull our guys out of S. Korea. The South Koreans wanted out guys out only three years ago.

Let’s give everyone what they want.... good and hard. They want “Yankee go home!”? Then let’s go home.

And when the turds hit the turbine, let’s try not to be too smug on the phone when they call for help and we offer our most sincere condolences.

Maybe not, depending on how Japan plays it's cards.

First of all the Japanese are anything but stupid. They know America has made perhaps the biggest mistake in it's history in electing this buffoon. They know and full understand this.

Japan is worried and I don't blame them. How can you trust a country that is stupid enough to elect a clown like Obama? The answer is you can't.

The Japanese are fully capable of protecting themselves given time. Yes they are dependent on U.S. in the short term, but in the long run they can defend themselves easily. Granted they will need to change their constitution to allow for a larger Defense budget but they can and will do this. It wouldn't take long for Japan to become one of the most capable militaries in the world. It wouldn't take more than 2 to 3 years. They could go nuclear in a matter of weeks if they wanted to.

Japan does NOT like Obama. I know this because I work with Japanese people all the time. I know dozens of them and every one who has expressed an opinion has an extremely negative opinion of Obama. They think Americans were stupid to vote for him. I think they are right.
