Mass punishment...what a wonderful thing...for the enlisted...not the officers.
I was stationed while in the Air Force at Lakenheath AFB in 1968 when one our enlisted buddies ran into the back of a lorry while he was drunk. We all lost the right to use our vehicles for a month due to this accident. I mean ALL Enlisted... for the special elite people (officers) did not. That incident established my “mind-set” about why would anyone want to live in a society where you give up your rights under the Constitution and live under a dictatorship with rights only granted by the UCMJ and the whim of higher officers.
It was amazing how few of these bad apple incidents occurred in the few years following that conviction.
Your typical jailbird in Japan works 14 hour days, 6 days per week. They do not get state of the art body building facilities, law libraries or television access. If they exhibit good behavior, they might get access to a shared lounge with a television showing approved programming, a library with a limited selection of books (mostly text books, donations and castoffs), board games such as Shogi (Japanese chess) or Go and the opportunity to attend a generic Buddhist, Shinto or Christian service on Sunday conducted by a rotating group of volunteer clergy. If you are a Muslim or a Jew they will suggest you attend the Christian service because that's the closest thing they have available, so sorry!
It sounds quite harsh, but there are no rapes, beatings or murders in Japanese prisons.
Obama’s plan to destroy the US military is moving full steam ahead. Here he is trying to DEMORALIZE it.
