Japan can always kick U.S. out
By NAME WITHHELD BY REQUEST
Yokosuka, Kanagawa
In response to Rose Welsch's letter citing the American "occupation" of Okinawa, I would submit that the current arrangement in Okinawa is the result of a defense agreement that Japan has the power to terminate anytime, and in no way can it be considered an occupation.
As a member of the U.S. military, I agree that Okinawans have valid complaints about Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, but I would like to point out that the U.S. military does serve a valid purpose in a game that can mean the end of the world if played poorly.
As for the risk of crime (because of the presence of U.S. service members), I would like to point out that service members stationed at most bases, whether inside or outside the United States, suffer from a large amount of anti-military discrimination. Truth be told, the individual sailor, marine, soldier is held to a much higher standard than average citizens.
While public drunkenness, for example, does not garner much attention if one is Japanese, it can mean the end of your military career if you are a U.S. service member. It can result in the remittance of whatever college money you might have saved, and it can close the door to many government or government-affiliated jobs after you are kicked out.
God forbid that you have to defend yourself against any sort of legal accusation from a Japanese national. Japanese people around the bases know that if they get into a minor car accident with an American, it is an opportunity to make a big fuss and have U.S. insurance services fix all problems with their car regardless of whether they were caused by the accident. The average citizen outside does not see the effect that disciplinary and legal action has on service members. I can tell you that the atmosphere is oppressive.
Occasionally you do get a group of young troublemakers who end up disillusioned for various reasons and cause a lot of trouble. From this group, however, come the same young men who have died in the millions during past wars for their own as well as other countries. Some never had the experience of falling in love, getting married, having children — things that most of us take for granted.
I digress. In the end, Okinawa and Japan must come to terms with the price of their security arrangement, or be prepared to pay the cost of having a military — or of not having one.
