The human rights of the Uchinanchu do have to be respected, by international laws. Besides my okinawan baba is the best, she's 95 still kicking and she takes care of my baby twins everyday. I would not give her up for anything.

I wonder if he will do anything to help the Okinawans. http://www.iwanami.co.jp/jpworld/text/okinawa01.html

Kam HWY is a dangerous road, especially with the strong wind in the winter. Even the most experience riders get knocked off their bikes.

I read a story saying the same issue usually is acceptably solved by correcting the paperwork, beside if u look at the charges they were filed immediately after Ozawa refused to change is position on futenma after talking to sec clinton.

A world without nuclear weapons doesnt mean a war is going to break out.

What they really need to do is get all 8 nuclear powers into the talks, reduce and eliminate nukes this way.

North koreas military is a joke, their million plus army can not defend against south koreas defense force (its very advance today). For china we have the 7th fleet and kedena. for russia we have the worlds longest range nuclear weapons, if they attack we will destroy them instantly (I'm anti-nuke and i hope this never happens). I want to go live in Okinawa again, but not in the military as a civilian who can help the Okinawans develop a real economy. Ihave some very good Okinawan friends who live in both hawaii and okinawa.

http://www.g2mil.com/okinawa-solution.htm The marines are obsolete force and not needed, we should just go back to the army, navy and air force. the marines are pretty much useless in okinawa.

If the base absolutely has to stay move the copters to Kadena, its a big base with a lot of unused land. The osprey doesn't need a runway unless theres a problem with the shifter. in which theres a runway that can be used at kadena

The only difference between the Japanese bureaucracy and the yakuza, is that the Yakuza is openly honest that they are a criminal organization.

All planes have problems, at least Boeing is aggressively taking care of this. Their complex machines.

We need to treat the Okinawans better, meaning immediate action on troop drawdown. Instead of punishing them for refusing to support an occupation that has done so much to hurt them.

maybe it can be called, The peoples xenophobic party

People who attempt suicide need help not jail time. You can have PTSD from training, some people are not meant for the military.

A continuation of the discrimination in Okinawa.

A new party for ultra-currupt nationalist, who are too xenophobic to talk to there neighbors

The fact that america still treats the okinawans as objects is a disgrace to the american servicemen. We fight to promote and defend freedom and democracy not to restrict it to anyone, anywhere.

The 31st meu will be deployed half the year outside of the region of the far east, they do not even have to be in okinawa or japan. removing them from okinawa will have no effect on security. they are just there for war

The boats are not a secret, the missions are. Chinese boats are poorly built and sink often

Spent 6 years on board one, nothing new. I miss the crew but not the boat.

Azusa Suzie, With my mother being japanese, she's never eaten whale and questions why it is important to inhumanely kill an endangered form of intelligent life.

If they put 100% death tax on government bonds that should solve the problem

The butt warmer was amoung Japans best inventions, but i think I'm fine with the fingerprint.

Japan should just default it is going to happen

It will be a couple more years but the tech gets better fast

What about just giving the vaccine

if you build the reactors in submarines to hook up to the grid if something happens you can take it out to see and sink it to the bottom of the ocean

50 down, 6 more to go.

The marines can be removed from Okinawa with a minimum impact on deterrence and security, they are their because its cheaper to have them their. i have many okinawan and okinawa-hawaiian friends, they great people with a beautiful cultural, Obama should know it, he's from hawaii. We don't need to do this to innocent and peaceful people. With the new technology the infantry is useless any ways. It takes 3-4 days before the marines would respond anyways, they are shippable. fighter jets, aircraft carriers and submarines is all we need.

whale wars may be interesting this year
