I had two uncles on Okinawa in WII, one grievously wounded. The thought of us giving up ANYTHING that was paid for in blood galls me.
In the words of the day - “The Pacific must become an AMERICAN LAKE.”
I agree wholeheartedly.
Give up NOTHING. Ever.
It’s a touchy topic,,, but most of our troubles in Okinawa have been caused by high profile rapes of young girls, by our military guys who are more into hip hop rather than country music.
That gangsta subculture of ours has caused us incredible damage in too many ways to mention.
