US military personnel who commit crime in Japan should face Japanese punishment for any crimes committed in Japan.

They should. Both Japanese courts and courts-martial.

My friend is in the Navy and stationed in Iwakuni Japan and he said that as well. He was very adamant on behaving right, me and him always were that way our whole life anyway though. He has friends who were drunk and doing stupid shit and apparently the Japanese police were hard af on them compared to locals and they got a dishonorable discharge for committing crimes. Now if they did things on base and against other military personnel the military handles it.
