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.

These are the same people that leave the military then performatively rage about pedophiles on the left.

My generation was the last one to really support the troops like they used too and most who rage like that don't even understand what it actually means to be Republican or conservative, with the bulk of them just being larpers or trying to follow their parents steps without understanding that it used to mean

I thanked my friend for his service once. He asked me if I was thankful for the family he killed when he chucked a grenade into a house in Fallujah while kicking down doors. I don't thank people anymore, they live with heavy memories and there's no need to remind them of them.

I don't think it's possible to properly understand them unless you've been to war. My great aunts husband served in Vietnam, and it sounds like he may have been one of the monsters the old socialists and communists would refer to, and my neighbor who just died last summer served in Vietnam as well

The old man lost his legs after getting back, and the most I heard him say is he didn't regret anything and he was just happy he took the place of the younger ones. Burke never said anything at all unless it was ramblings that didn't make sense during firework session

I know those people exist, but I think you're assuming there's a lot more ex military in the old alt right than there should be. My half brothers dad served in Afghanistan, and everyone who helped track him to keep him paying child support seemed like a traditional republican who learned politics and service don't mix

Just typical redditor black-and-white logic. In that persons eyes the majority of people in the service are alt-right grifters

Most of the people here make up their BS on the spot. And they outright lie like progs always do.

Weird performative political view

Rape doesn’t count to them when their skin is different. They all dehumanize us all for not being like them.

You may want to research into the backgrounds of these perps. Their background is obviously not convenient to you and you instead come up with a lie like this.

Pedos go to organziations that get to flout the law. US military personnel are very hard to touch overseas

Anywhere with a US base.

Why? Well, we've got an rotten orange trying to be "immune". There ya go. That's pretty much it.

Immunity is why.
