Posted in: U.S. Army copter crash-lands on ship off Okinawa; 6 injured See in context

Those of you who are saying "get U.S troops off of Okinawa" have no idea what you are talking about. Okinawa has a tourist economy. The united states brings in huge revenue to the local Okinawan businesses annually. I know this because I'm stationed there. Every time bases on Okinawa get put on lockdown the locals beg to have the restrictions lifted because local businesses lose a good portion of their revenue. The Okinawan economy has been intertwined with the money that U.S Forces bring to the island for the past 70 years.

Definitely grateful that I'm not obligated to celebrate valentines day. For the most part all the single Marines in my platoon make fun of all the married Marines. Sometimes a random Sergeant will try to sell flowers that the married guys can take home to their wives. All pretty low-key.
