“It is truly infuriating that the presence of these bases leads to women being killed or raped like this.” Protesters in Tokyo rallied in front of the US embassy Tuesday night, demanding the expulsion of US bases from the country. Demonstrations have continued day after day after a US Marine was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of killing 39-year-old Anna Yagi in Okinawa. The murder has reignited fury over the presence of US military bases in the country – the overwhelming majority of which are stationed in Okinawa.

    Wake me up when China has a military base down the road and is raping and murdering your children.

    Oh is that what the US is doing where you live? In America, as you claimed earlier?

      So now I’m Japanese? OMFG, IT’S WHAT THE ARTICLE IS ABOUT!

      But yeah, I live near JBLM and Bremerton. Military bases are cancer to communities. America is no exception.

      It’s the dregs of society, all packed into a giant trillion dollar adult daycare and rape factory.
