Rent-A-Cop posted:Frankly the government in Tokyo cares more about having a bunch of American whoopass around to wave in China's face than it does about Okinawans getting woken up by jets. Bingo. The only battle for Okinawa was won by America, paid for in sweat and blood. Those bases are as American as apple pie and Guam, so boo hoo about locals getting woken up by our kickass military hardware. They don't like it? They can move or purchase the bases for, say, a few trillion. Enough to construct those facilities elsewhere. There are far more important things in this world than an island of NIMBY-ism, such as containing any potential Chinese aggression towards Taiwan, and being able to provide disaster relief to tens of millions within days. Okinawans lost the war, and have to accept that land is forever American.
