I’m getting the same vibe, this don’t smell right. First of all, that is a long message for a ‘text message’. Next, no one really refers to the military or OGA as “DOD”. Oh yea and ‘radios dropped in 8 days before’? If it were before, why would they need to be dropped in, it isn’t like Japan is a third world country with no technology base. Maybe it is just bad wording, but it sure does smell. Someone trying to drop some conspiracy rumors in what appears to be an innocuous text?
The part about the trash burn made me go WTF? It’s going to be a long messy cleanup no matter how you look at it, but one thing I do not see happening is them shoving all the trash in a pile and setting it on fire.
Besides, the DOD is not running anything with this. All the US Forces assigned to Operation Tomodachi are basically supporting the JGSDF. They’re not setting up shop and doing stuff on their own.
