Okinawa.

This is coolbert:

The American military man behaving badly!!

Once again it has happened. And it cannot be dismissed even in the slightest manner.

An Okinawan woman attacked, raped, robbed, left injured.

American servicemen accused and evidently one CONFESSING!!

"U.S. troops in Okinawa on curfew after arrests in rape case"

"Washington (CNN) -- U.S. troops in Okinawa will now be on curfew after the arrest of two U.S. sailors accused of raping a local woman, the commander of U.S. forces in Japan said Friday."

"The two men [the accused rapists], both 23, are alleged to have raped a Japanese woman early Tuesday, leaving her with a neck injury, police said. They were taken into custody later that day."

This sort of seemly event not existing in a vacuum. Hardly!! Only two months ago a similar attack taking place!!

"The alleged attack took place two months after a U.S. Marine was arrested, accused of assaulting and molesting a woman in Naha, the capital of Okinawa."

It matters not that an Okinawan is six times more likely to be assaulted and attacked by a fellow Japanese than from an American military man. Such attacks and "incidents" do no one any good and result only in bad!!

I can tell you also with almost metaphysical absolute certitude that these men [the alleged rapists] on temporary duty [TDY] thought they could take advantage of a situation, commit the evil deed and be gone before the hue and cry was raised, the villains making good their escape!!

I fear too that in this instance there IS A RACIAL DIMENSION ONLY EXACERBATING THE SITUATION WHICH CANNOT BE IGNORED!!
