it is kind of funny how okinawans decry the soldiers stationed there as all being rapists when they actually rape at a much lower rate than the local population. like sure, ideally no one would be doing any rapes at all but even the notoriously rapey marines are less rapey than okinawans. rape.

Is it part of their culture to stop and take selfies in front of the most mundane stuff? I see them around town all the time just posing for pictures in front of random bus stops, gas stations, in the middle of the street...whats the deal?

Did you know?

Neither Washington nor Tokyo has explained the geostrategic necessities of a U.S. forward-deployed military presence in Asia effectively.

Nor have officials articulated the significant role of the U.S. Marines in a broad spectrum of alliance missions—an issue that is complicated by political sensitivities and U.S. officials’ excessive fear of revealing military contingency plans.

The United States has pledged the lives of its sons and daughters to defend Japan. As Lieutenant General Stalder succinctly explained, “all of my Marines on Okinawa are willing to die if it is necessary for the security of Japan.”

Indeed, as Prime Minister Kan commented, “Including the Marines in Okinawa, all U.S. troops stationed in Japan play a major role in contributing to our nation’s safety and the region’s stability.” Kan stated:

[W]e must never forget that in the context of the Japan–U.S. alliance, members of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the U.S. Marines, perhaps youth not even twenty years of age, have a mission to be prepared to shed their own blood [for the defense of Japan] should a contingency arise.
In response to Chinese provocations, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reassured Foreign Minister Maehara in November 2010 that the United States considered the Senkaku Islands to be Japanese territory under the bilateral security treaty. The U.S. statement was a stronger affirmation than previous vague diplomatic comments on the sovereignty of the islands.

In addition to the Senkaku Islands, U.S. Marines are also critical to securing Japanese interests in Okinawa. For example, Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa opposed moving U.S. Marines from Okinawa to Guam because, as he noted, these troops “a very important role in deterring against Chinese adventurism near Okinawa—if all the Marines in Okinawa were transferred to Guam, we cannot defend those islands.”

Further highlighting the Marine’s role in the Pacific, in February 2011, Admiral Robert Willard, commander of Pacific Command, announced that the Marine Corps had been integrated into the new U.S. AirSeaBattle Concept battle plan, commenting that “their capabilities will be an enhancement to our joint force.” A U.S. defense official added that the revised strategy could use the Marines to retake islands in the East China or South China seas after a Chinese attack. The official commented that “the Japanese and South China Sea states don’t have Marine Corps-type capabilities to stop a Chinese occupation of islands.”

The Heritage Foundation wrote the preceding article in 2011, way before the latest round of isolationist sentiment in their ranks, because a proxy war with China over some loving rocks seemed like a great sell to everyone involved?

When I was in Cambodia visiting Angkor Wat, there was a huge group of South Korean tourists there. The guide would hold up a blue umbrella, and they would stop whatever they were doing and when the guide lowered it and walked off they would all follow him single file like in a conga line. It was hilarious seeing about 40 adults guided around like children.

all those shows you listed as good are actually garbage. you just have fond memories of them because you liked them when you were an immature idiot. they, like all anime, belong in the trash.

pedo schoolgirl poo poo is popular because anime fans are emotionally children, never having experienced real social interaction, so they relate better to shows about children and relationships with children than adults

it is actually true for all violent crime in okinawa, and is a matter of public record. i suppose it is probably because okinawa is poor as poo poo compared to most other urban areas in japan. don't get me wrong, the marines there still love to rape and murder. they are marines, after all. they just love it less than the surrounding populace, is all.

No the military never divulges its internal crime stats becase it would make them look really bad. Even just between soldiers the rape rate is super high. The numbers they release are for things like foreigners arrested by Japanese police which is extremely low because it only covers an extremely small range of incidents. Not to mention all the stuff that's quietly swept under the rug with the help of local authorities. This used to be something I worked on and the whole thing is kind of sad and helps explain why the locals are so mad.

Go back far enough to the 70s and 80s and you could literally get away with murder with a slap on the wrist. A lot of people still remember that era too.

Japan used to have anime for normal people because they were too poor to have real tv and movies.

Now that they're rich, normal people have mostly moved on to watching real tv and movies, and only children and weird perverts watch animation, just like in the us. Of these two, the perverts have more money
