As a person who was staitioned there, i can say there was more than just what was said as to why they did not want us there

My brother has been stationed there for years. He loves it there. Okinawa residents don't like the bases bit there is little they can other than protest. My brother marries a Japanese women from the main Island and she hated living on Okinawa. Main island Japanese treat people in Okinawa like second class citizens according to my brother.

Just to clarify for the other viewers, this is just the tip of the iceberg of why those bases are controversial in Okinawa
292 |
US military bases are often controversial in countries with left hand drive like Japan and the UK because personnel driving out on the wrong side of the road cause lots of road accidents. There's been dozens of these incidents in the UK, including a recent bigh profile one where Anne Sacoolas, the wife of a US diplomat killed a young motorcyclist in a hit and run and then fled the country.

Other controversial elements of the us presence in Okinawa include dumping benzene into their water supply and the high numbers of drunk driving fatalities caused by US servicemen, which often go unpunished.

Everyone in the comments being unsympathetic due to Japan's war crimes in WW2 but don't realize Okinawa was also subjugated by the Japanese...Its like if Japan still owned Korea and we punished Korea for Japan's actions. Its not fair to the Okinawans, unfortunately the rest of Japan doesnt care.

I thought the sexual crimes/misconduct of the American servicemen might be a point of contention with the people of Okinawa.

This was a dispute since before 1968 when I was there, and a group was milling by the main gate. I was in a small group that was to backup the Marines if they got in.

My dad lived in Okinawa back in the 90s when he was in the Marine Corps.

I remember, they used to protest outside Camp Schwab every day lol. It gets old quick.

Okinawa, if it's Ryukyu is not only an island. It's a group of islands extending toward Taiwan.

I feel you guys. Love the yanks but we have US bases here in the UK and they’re an absolute nuisance.
Diplomatic immunity for a US wife killing a young boy in a traffic collision is an absolute joke.

Well .. I would say that if Japan didn't want to be occupied by the US Military, then maybe they shouldn't have attacked Pearl Harbor. I say the same thing when Italians complain about American naval bases in Naples or Air bases in Sicily.

What an awesome short. I had no idea, great info.

I was stationed there and I remember in 2019 that some local was outside kadena and he had a megaphone and was saying thank you and bowing to every car entering the gate

There’s obviously a lot more going on there than just this. I will say that I have seen interviews where a Japanese man went and interviewed Okinawans about how they felt about the American military bases and that the issue was split. Most of the younger generation didn’t seem to notice or care about the American military bases while the older generation cared much more deeply.

Comments referring to Pearl Harbor, should use the word “ships” not boats.
I lived on Okinawa from 1960-1963.
The Okinawans were generally a friendly and hospitable people.
We actually lived in a Okinawan village, which was a very unique experience.
Children were safe there and cherished with a day dedicated to honor boy children.
Later, girls were included in the celebration.
The island had some excellent scuba diving sites with super clean water.
There were multiple remnants from the war such as artillery emplacements, caves and
machine gun nests etc.
I always enjoyed the Karate, Judo and Sumo wrestling events.
When our father asked us if we wanted to stay there or return to the States, l said return to America.
What a big mistake.
Live and Learn. 😢

Okay, then raise taxes, fund and defend yourself then.

There’s also the fact that the American troops on the island have a bad habit of… being violent criminals (there’s a disturbing preference for abducting and abusing local children) but none of them see a day in Japanese court because they get quietly whisked off to the US to face court martial there (and usually get served a discharge)

When the mutual defense treaty between the US and Japan was up for re-negotiation in the '70s, one of the main concessions the Japanese got in exchange for extebding it was that the US agreed to move most of its personal to Okinawa.
The Okinawans weren't happy but they got outvoted when the Japanese government held a nationwide vote on the matter. Okinawans are nkt ethnically Japanese.
