quote of the day

The U.S. military may be having trouble controlling its pilots. The Japanese government should obtain evidence such as on-site photos and assert more strongly that their flights are causing a nuisance.

Toshiyuki Ito, a professor at Kanazawa Institute of Technology's Toranomon Graduate School, who previously served as commandant at the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's Kure district.

It's time for these unwanted invaders (US military, not the decent American residents) to head home. After all, didn't the current PotUS say he was going to bring the troops back to the US?

Ito-sensei has drunk the koolaid and is now peppering the media/populace with conjecture and fear mongering (pilots out of control; crashing; etc.). It's ok; he's allowed his opinion, but I think it's reckless to make unproven accusations.
