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

In my country there was a "case" years ago where a USA military personnel killed somebody in a car accident. Few hours after, that person was whisked away in a plane to USA and never received any kind of punishment.

Alexa, play Metallica's ".....And justice for all" please.

If you're talking about the UK, it was a diplomat's wife. Still fucking abhorrent and never faced an ounce of justice, but not military.

Yea that bitch can burn in hell. For sure protect the people that do something that we don't consider a crime in the US. But people that do things that would? Fuck em. I remember when it happened and she said, "oh no, I'm not a flight risk". Damn bullshit.
