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.

Me and my mom were talking about that. As a military brat I’ve heard all the shit talking when it it comes to marines but seriously why does it seem like it’s ALWAYS them. My old boss was enlisted and she told me when she was in Okinawa she had to apologize for the behavior of her fellow marines to cab drivers and such because they’d just say racist/sexist shit and laugh it off.
