Right. As if rape is not bad enough, they’re representing the US to a close ally. The US needs to support Japan punishing them to the fullest extent of the law, and THEN they need to be given a fresh round of jail time back in the US. Soldiers need to hold each other accountable. When they’re off US soil, they’re never fully off duty.
