    Think of it as a reminder to the Japs not to get any crazy ideas in the future.

    Might not be the only one out there. 
 Time to break out the ground-penetrating radar.

    Okinawa-mid 70’s. Every once in awhile an old bomb would be discovered and the area cleared.

    Obviously, this is Trump’s fault - because of racism and xenophobia or something. Just more of his threat to democracy. (/s)

    Learning to defuse unexploded munitions was a learning process beyond my comprehension. It's not like they could video the work either. The only way they could teach it was to discover how they worked in the field without failure, then to recover them for purposes of replication of the technique. 
 Suspense right up there with "Dam Busters." At least there's little chance of pain in failure.

    Well THAT certainly is inconvenient. 
For some folks, anyway.

    I’d like to think that the spirit of a deceased US airman is looking down on this and chuckling: “I knew it! I knew I didn’t miss the airfield with that bomb!”

Abc”
More likely it’s the Neocons sending a message to Japan that they don’t like their new Prime Minister.
