American troops leaving Okinawa

Japan exploited the Okinawan people for a long time before the U.S. liberated them . Who benefits from the U.S. leaving ? I believe it is a few wealthy Japanese who want the very valuable realestate the the U.S. has . They are using the radical left as a tool to exploit the Okinawan people ,who for the first time have a high standard of living . The sad part is they will win and Okinawans will again be second class citizens on thier own island.

Actually I'm pretty sure the protests have to do with the long history of rapes committed by members of the U.S. military in Okinawa.

Yes, I'm sure they remember it quite well, but I'll wager they probably remember the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki a lot better. Are there Americans who really still believe the Japanese are a threat? considering that their government has essentially bowed to the wishes of U.S. policy makers unquestioningly for the past 60 years that seems rather absurd.

REMENBER THE 2 BOMBS!! ... you should be ashamed of what you just said, pearl harbour was just another war scene like many others, but those bombs, the US lost the reason there.

Invictus666 is an idiot whom doesn't seem to realize that "Okinawans" are Japanese. He also seems to believe that any place other than the US lives in constant poverty. A god damned aho if I ever met one. Keep your bigoted comments to yourself. And do shut up if you really don't know anything about anything.

The dude with "REMEMBER PEARL HARBOUR" is another idiot whom is trying to bring up old wounds, not realizing that the attack on pearl harbor happened more than half a century ago. Not to mention, he also doesn't realize that "HARBOUR" is spelled H-A-R-B-O-R.

And please retard, don't try to tell me you fought the Pacific War.
