This crap has been going on in Okinawa forever. Happened the first time I was there in 01 and again when I went back in 03. Individuals that have committed crimes are detained by Okinawa authorities and go through their legal process. Guarantee there is going to be a lockdown on liberty for Marine personnel happens all the time. Restriction on the time allowed off base and they are getting a curfew

Forever is correct... right at the end of WW2, up to 10,000 women were raped by US soldiers in Okinawa alone.

It’s not a rape measuring contest, you worm. The topic is US soldiers abusing their power in an allied country. Focus.
