Some people on this board are bitter and spiteful, and in turn bites the hand that feeds them their freedom.

There is also some "racial stuff" connected to the Okinawa crimes, this is another take on it, not by right wing media but by CNN.

How long have US forces been stationed (occupying, if you will) Japan?

Uh huh. My point was more along the lines of "so troops have been in Japan for 60 plus years, yet people like NEM complain that we've still got troops in Iraq?"

You wanna see protests, let's remove these bases, and see what happens to these communities.

Nobody commits more crimes than UN delegates in NYC (and I'm not talking about their parking tickets).

Don't let those two grinning double talking politicians (bama & hillary) ***** you, the troops will be in Iraq for a long long time no matter who the president is, a politician will tell you anything to make themselves look good, they are the Vermin of the earth.

Mccain is a "closet democrat" but at least he told it like it is on Iraq, he said "we would be there for 100 years".
