I absolutely agree they committed mass genocide across the east. I literally put that into my post. I’ve been to Korea and seen and heard stories about what they did there and I would never even begin to defend it. That’s not the point I was trying to make though.

I’m just simply giving my observations about the US’s current situation in Japan. You said we’re there to protect them, I said it’s not that simple.

I said we exploit the fact they allow us to be there. Different to exploiting the peoples themselves. The US (and pretty much every major government) has a habit of taking a mile when offered and inch. Our current position in Japan is no different.

The amount of service members stationed, the number and sizes of bases, the type of maintenance and work that is allowed to be carried out. All of these things are being constantly pushed and expanded, with promises that “this is the last time” being constantly broken.

This is the US military we’re talking about here. Does any of this actually surprise you?

Fair enough
