When will Congress come clean on their publicly funded payoffs?
No Photo of him anywhere, so far.
The Marines been dorking things up for us Army folk there for decades.
Not exactly the way to win hearts and minds.
Seems like the military had problems in Okinawa since forever. Why not just restrict the military to the base and ban them from interacting with the locals?
Occasionally, Japanese kids would approach us to practice their English. The girls would try a few words, giggle, and runoff. Nobody ever thought those girls were flirting; for God's sake, they were kids. The boys occasionally hung out with us, and we bought snacks and drinks and taught them the wrong English words. Okay, that was wrong, but funny.
Before COVID, I went back to visit friends and old haunts. As a retiree, I could have stayed on the base. I chose an Airbnb instead. For two reasons, my friends are Japanese, and the base had just come off a curfew because some idiot tried to rape a Japanese schoolgirl. I spoke to a retiree who thought it was cool to be staying on the base like back in the day. I worked on the base, but I never stayed on the base. Anyway, I am sure it was not so cool after they locked the base down for 24 hours and then imposed a curfew. There was a fight between a Japanese and a Marine at a bar. During the lockdown, if you were off the base sightseeing, you paid hell getting back on. Once you get back on, you cannot leave.
Okinawa? Rape? There were willing girls everywhere when I was stationed there! Old women, even a man made up asking soldiers “You want me?”
MA-1A ALLEY! Hey GI! 5 dollar short time. ten dollar all night!
And the AFRTS Radio! Here are your numbers for today! 18, 72, 25. 67. (girls had number tags. If the number was broadcast she had banged out for VD!
When a typhoo headed for Guam all the aircraft were sent to Okinawa along with the ground crews. As there were no available women on Guam they hit Koza City like a whirlwind! Then back to Guam. Two weeks later we were sent to Guam. As I turned in my medical records I had to walk past a long L-O-N-G line of sad faced airmen who had contacted VD at Koza City.
What’s the big deal? Biden says family members and sisters rape just like migrants
Doing time in a Japanese prison is no joke. No molly coddling like here. One of our troops did time over there while I was stationed on Okinawa and he wrote us a letter telling us what it was like. And this guy will do hard corps time.
Okinawans have had their panties in a wad ever since WWII and especially since the US established a permanent base there.
You can take the boys out of the ghetto...
It looks like the blacks have taken their race war to Japan.
This has been an issue since 1945. It will always be an issue.
Black servicemen have always been a huge problem on Okinawa.
Time to bring the troops home?
That war ended almost 80 years ago.
Jamel.......says it all.
