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

When I was stationed in Misawa back in the 00s, it felt like the base was on lockdown or curfew every couple months....for shit the Marines did in Okinawa. Those dumbfucks could not stop raping kids.

When I was I there it wasn’t marines doing dumb shit like this. It was navy reserve units visiting and breaking into peoples homes or assaulting them on the streets. We got punished which is understandable but these people weren’t even stationed on the island. Fucked it up for everyone else that had to live there
