        What would happen to Okinawa's economy if the U.S. military left? Troops spend a lot of money on the island.

        Troops also rape their women. They’re literally infringing upon their sovereignty. WW2 ended over 73 years ago, why is the US military still there treating japan like a colony? Japan’s economy is the 3rd largest economy in the world, Okinawa would do just fine

        I was on Futenma for a year in early 80s. I did not much like it but I could tell that the locals really loved their island and we should pay attention and give them Futenma. Drudge up an island like china is doing. Japanese are great folks especially the youth
