U.S. Sailors Banned From Overnight Stays in Naha (Video of USMC Apology to Locals Over Rape Charge)
YouTube Japan ^ | YouTube Japan

Posted on 03/16/2016 8:12:48 PM PDT by AmericanInTokyo

Video at link shows the apology yesterday made by the senior Marine Corps brass in Okinawa, Japan over a increasingly hot situation in the form of an alleged rape of a Japanese woman in a hotel room by a Marine stationed in the island. I believe the alleged perp has been remanded to Japanese custody where he will face the Jaoanwse justice system.

Several top-level apologies in this manner by USG and DOD/USFJ, deferring to local sensitivities, have transpired when certain boys have gone wild during duty in Japan and had abused the local womenfolk.

This kid will catch a helluva lot of wrath from many in uniform down there, who are in fact, unlike him, otherwise behaving themselves.

My son went to Oki with the Corps in 2014 and they were very restricted about what they could do and where they could go because of past Navy atrocities. My kiddo was there for 7 months and didn’t leave the base except for one official event.

Sad, too, since my mom loved Japan from when she worked at the Philly Naval Yard doing electrical drafting for Aircraft Carriers.

We used to head up to the Kadena AFB O-Club for fun until a few, uh, altercations led to Marines being banned.

But that was good clean fun. If this little peckerhead is guilty, I hope the JP's really give him the business.

I have a hard time seeing a USMC LG bowing , rather deeply, to a Japanese politician .

They all seem to forget

These men have no excuse for rape.

This is a truly sad situation.

Wow. Even their interpreter is doing the o-jigi. Little thing you can just barely see her behind the General.

It’ll be good when all of our men, no exceptions, observe military code and behave, respecting the populace they are defending, so that not one more single USMC LG has to go through this humiliation.

Is it true that Japanese men are known to have a perverse attraction to porn cartoons and X-video portraying kinky and forced sex etc.? I read that somewhere.

Any pictures of the perp? In most cases on the island its been a son of Obama committing the crime.

When I was stationed in Okinawa, my wife and the skipper's wife said they'd routinely see Okinawan men "amusing themselves" while just sitting in their car at the side of the road during lunch hour.

It's an odd place.

Good luck finding someone in our military who’s highly paid.

I was there on Camp Schwab during the first rape that occurred in 95. I was in my final month of a 6 month pump and we were locked to base. We got paid a visit by Commandant of The Marine Corps Gen Krulak and Sgt Maj of The Marine Corps Overstreet. These were not fun times. If memory serves me correctly it was a Corpseman, a sailor and a Marine
