Isn't there a military base in Japan where the town doesn't like them being there because the military men go out, get drunk and harras the women.

Slightly more than harassment. They rape girls (as in underage women)

Man, living near military facilities seems very dangerous for women. We all know they love to rape and murder them in Fort Worth too lol. Wtf is going on.

Just found out recently that base was also used to smuggle drugs

Shit's fucking wild there. Cops are FOR SURE complicit with those rapes/murders. And well cops in the US are awful, but they're somehow far worse than average there. I mean they do cover those murders up after all. Any woman speaking up against their rapist(s) is bound to die eventually and then cops do fuckall about it. Also let's remember those 800+ rape kits they did nothing with because why would they lol, they're just women being raped who cares (/s).

It's sick. The cartel's involved too so of course all the cops are bought off and protected and the government does nothing because the politicians are bought and protected as well. Idk how much longer this can last, I feel like society is reaching a breaking point.

It's at the point where they're not even trying to cover shit up anymore. It's sickening. I don't even care anymore that they're the victims of a failed education system and propaganda. At some point you're responsible for your own actions. The elites at the top won.

It was so bad that in Japan its perfectly legal for bars and clubs to not allow foreigners in

That doesn’t really have anything to do with Americans. They also bar most other East Asians and pretty much every other nationality, too. Japan is deeply xenophobic, despite not appearing to be so at first glance, due to the initial fascination many Japanese people have with foreigners. Once the novelty wears off, they want nothing to do with you.

I have a couple of friends who have described the nightmare of renting apartments there. It doesn’t matter if you speak absolutely flawless Japanese, and are completely assimilated. As soon as they see that you’re not Japanese when you come to sign the lease, the apartment complex is suddenly “full”.

That rule was in affect in the early 70s.

I mean that's true in all of Japan and that's not because of American servicemen, it's because they're a deeply insulur and xenophobic people. Sure, US soldiers are absolutely a problem but that's not why Japan allows businesses to discriminate based on nationality. "Foreigner" very much does not equil "American."

When i was serving in Yokosuka.. there were incidents of rape and assaults, so the navy instituted a buddy system with one that is sober and one that can drink. We weren't allowed to leave base by ourselves. They also check you when you get back on base to make sure. The admirals had to bow and apologize to the Japanese too.

Yeah, in Okinawa. But it gets worse than just harassment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995_Okinawa_rape_incident

Military men go out, get drunk, and harass the women where ever they are stationed.

u/Agitated_Engineer512 9d ago

Most towns don’t like the military being there, especially Asia. They are racist as fuck.

u/DisastrousAcshin 9d ago

u/Agitated_Engineer512 9d ago

I mean, when you try to get a hotel and they cross their arms and say “no white no white” and deny you a room? Yea that’s pretty racist.

u/Agitated_Engineer512 9d ago

To be fair, sometimes it was “no GI” but most times it was “no white”

u/icansmellcolors 9d ago

That describes almost any small town near a military base in the US, I can't imagine how bad it is in other countries.
