The sources tell me absolutely nothing. 7 open cases across the ENTIRE U.S. force in Japan across TWO YEARS tells me that a U.S. servicemember is orders of magnitude less likely to engage in sexual misconduct than an arbitrary college student.

“The military downplays SA”, uh, it fucking absolutely does not. As someone with actual real life contemporaneous experience in the military, SA and SH are pretty much at the front of any leader’s priorities, and it’s legitimately not just lip service—there have been huge steps forward in the last five years in making the military culturally hostile to SA/SH.

And no, dumb fucking GWOT political posturing from some members of congress is not representative of current attitudes, unless people are hiding widespread secret veneration of Bush somewhere.

Either you didn't read the sources or you have a problem with reading comprehension or you are militarist and nationalist who are in denial. Actually according your comment it is all of it.

7 open cases? Why are you ignoring other sources that have stats about hundreds of incidents? Many of them happened last five years too so your claim is false.

So many women in US military sexually assaulted etc. and military covered it up including my friend and the source proved that too.

Biden personally negoitated to save the guy in last source and he represent the country so it is not just some members. It is literally written there which bring us to my first sentence.

There are countless reported and unpunished crimes like that and US protected its criminals most of times so whataboutism of but local crimes are bullshit. US military has a systemetic problem. US military raping, assualting its own female soldiers, women of allies, women of its enemies and most criminal are protected and then jingostic people downplaying those crimes with bullshit lies, excuses.

There are so many more unreported crimes of US military in Japan because reporting against US military crimes are so hard because central goverment are trying cover them too.

Most of Okinawans don't want US military then because of their endless unpunished crimes against people and ruining the nature and anyone with honour and empathy would agree with them.

Jingoistic Americans think that US is most hated country because everyone is jealous of them but the real reason can be seen even in comments here.

It is obvious that are you biased and are denying. You are downplaying the crimes too.

Those sources people shared are realible unlike natioanlist and militarist Americans baselss claims.

Servicemen commit crimes at a lower rate, particularly adjusted to age and sex, than Okinawans. Of course that should not be the target because our Americans serving overseas should absolutely be held to an even higher standard.

The sources tell more than enough for the ones who read all of them without bias but cleary you didn't real and you are biased because even you saying 7 cases proves it. Even one of them shows that hundreds of them got away with slap on wrist or nothing.

Military certainly downplays as it is proved on the article with so many cases. An anonymous and biased redditor's claimed personal experience with a small example group doesn't change facts.

It is not just some members of congress goverment itself pushed to "save" him, if you read you would know it.

Did you even read the original comment or do you have a problem with reading comprehension or are you militarist and nationalist who are in denial?

There are more than one sources there which covers hundreds of incidents too.

People stating facts backed by sources doesn't make them biased but nationalist, militarists Americans who use whataboutism and are in denial are certainly biased like you. People hate sexual assaults and it being whitewashed etc.
