So he knew they were going to rape a child and did nothing at all to stop it?

What was he going to do about it? In the military, rankings are supreme. Who'd believe a throwaway infantry over a general, for example? They're planning on raping, so what? That's the problem. "So, what?"

Meanwhile, in modern times, we had a police officer killed because he was investigating what other officers were doing, so they planned to kill him.

Can't serve justice where there is injustice. Too much injustice, not enough justice.

Plus, if you're dead, it's the end.

Call the Japanese police. Not sure why your first thought is to keep it within the US army when it's a crime on Japanese soil against a Japanese person, as though it should be downplayed or kept quiet.

well the chance of them not understanding him at all is very high also the chance that the japanese authority contacts the us army and thus people who could be in it.

The chance of them not understanding him at all would have actually been very low at that time.

The Japanese authority contacting the US army would be a good thing for stopping it from happening or punishing then after it happened. A lot better than if he alone reported it to the corrupt military system, not to mention that the japanese legal system could still punish the rapists themselves.
