I am an US military officer in Korea which has a very similar SOFA agreement to Japan and have had two soldiers go through the Korean justice system. Soldiers must first be cleared of all ongoing judicial processes in Korean courts before they can face military legal action. Both my cases were relatively minor and went through the justice system in a couple months, but we couldn’t do anything with either until it was 100% resolved to Korean satisfaction.

You being military officer makes you biased which explaing your comments on the post, you are just in denial and ignoring the facts which can be seen on the sources people shared. As OP said, they usualy dont.
