Protest CVN George Washington

[c8s3a1]

Perhaps you should look into your history. At the end of WWII the Japanese signed a UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER to the United States. Part of that sureender stated that Japan can only have the military force and capabilities that the United States allows them to have. Maybe you should consider what that means for Japan...

[masagata2007]

Japan regained independence in 1952.

Current deployment is due to US-Japan defense treaty enacted after that. This is not our ship. In fact, I don't want our army to have neither nuclear ship, submarine nor weapons.

masagata2007,

Time has changed. Think about North Korea and China, and how they see Japan and its people. You have all the rights to oppose nukes but someday Japan, as a whole nation, might not have the choice at all because you cannot control what China and/or North Korea will do. North Korea has the materials to make nukes. Technicially, they have not yet figure out how to make nuclear warheads for their missiles. But, when they do, it will be a game-changer to Japan's security.

[JuoZapas]

haha very nice video of japanese radical fundamentalist, us troops are killers rapists and bandits, you are a RETARD dude. If you bother making video at least spend some time and correct the english grammar mistakes.

[masagata2007]

You're right. I will soon post update version with more info, correct grammer and music.

[masagata2007]

GW cannot help prevent missiles. Once they are shot, no one can. It takes minutes to reach Japan. US removed N.K. from the list of terror supporting nations. Not even detterent force.

[picassoartist]

i understant that the people are against the use of a nuclear powered ship being used after ww2 and radiation, but really, you should be greatful because if anything happens with north koreas misile testing, the ship will be there for your country and there to act.

if we weren't here, you'd ask for our help we're allies

[lotuspod1222]

you say you mean no harm but the stament in the end of the video say it all about you you obveisly dont realize that were not there to go to iraq were there if north korea or china acts up just becuse the ship had afire dont mean its unsafe you dont know what sercoumstanse there were

the media lies all the time and are full of crap

[zmayo85]

HAHAHAHA, you are so ignorant. We have been in Japan since the end of WWII. We are not there just to have a staging ground for Iraq. Is that really what you think?? Even if the carrier blows up its still wont have a nuclear detonation, the reactor is protected so even in an emergency nothing will happen. I think after 50 some years of nuclear powered vessels in the US Navy with no accidents you should think we're doing something right.....

[kristine08861]

Also my husband is a good man and would never do anything that would hurt your country. Or do anything offensive to your japanese women. And all of the people that i know on the Gw are not like this. Its sad to hear them being stereotyped. He loves your country, the culture and finds himself very blessed to have this opportunity to be there and i am very excited to be visiting. U.S. is not there to harm. Please do more research on this topic before jumping into conclusions

[kristine08861]

This video really hurt me and is untrue. My husband is on the George washigton and left me and his family to protect you and to see how ungrateful japan is breaks my heart. the fire took long to control becsue of the small places on the aircraft. My husband is on the gw fire squad so i know what really happened. He put his life in danger to put out the fire to go to japan and protect you. There is also nuclear power ship in Cali where there is earthquakes. and america is safe from explosions.

[MOMofSAILORonUSSGW]

aLSO, IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE US, CHINA WOULD BE MOVING INTO JAPAN.........THINK ABOUT THAT ONE, AND MAYBE YOU'LL BE A LITTLE MORE GRACIOUS.

[masagata2007]

Well,China is No.1 owner of U.S. treasury bonds and buys Boeing, Motorolla, biggest business client for your country. The U.S. army said that they will help China build new aircraft carrier. That means U.S. cannot counter China. I don't welcome the ship, but welcome your son if he loves my country. It is highly political matter. Please don't take it personally. I hope your son do well in Yokosuka.

[MOMofSAILORonUSSGW]

The funny thing is, the Japanese have nucleur power plants, and that would get damaged in an earthquake sooner than on a ship LOL

[masagata2007]

The difference is Japanese government cannot inspect the safety of the ship and rely only on the U.S. navy. It is very close to big cities. The ship is on the place where earthquake occurres frequently.

[mmjosh19]

There is no way possible that an earthquake would cause damage to the reactor plant of the carrier...the ships nowadays are not made of wood. Crazy, I know

[MomOfSailorOnUSSKH]

oops Peace treaty, not Peach lol

[MomOfSailorOnUSSKH]

We have the right to be there. After Japan tried to kill everyone of our navy sailors in Pearl Harbor, and you nastily murdered our military in the war, had death marches, starved and tortured our military, we have the right to be in Japan as part of the peach treaty. Now, I know many Americans are very fond of the Japanese.

[MomOfSailorOnUSSKH]

This is a horrible video, so untrue. There may have been only a few bad cases, but most are wonderful people. You are just prejudiced and a total bigot.

[MomOfSailorOnUSSKH]

My son is on that ship, and he is going to be a father, he should be in Japan with the love of his life, and his new baby. Also, if you are really worried about the environment, you should stop over fishing the ocean, and stop killing whales. There are no American goods to boycott, everything is made in China now. So, run for your life, and toss out those Chinese products that are so toxic. As you must have heard, their baby food and formula is killing babies.

[MomOfSailorOnUSSKH]

This is not true about the defence, they are there to protect Japan. Otherwise, they'd be over in the middle east.

[MomOfSailorOnUSSKH]

Also, they should be glad that the US is willing to protect them. Otherwise, who knows what would happen.

[MomOfSailorOnUSSKH]

Maybe they should protest whaling instead!

[MomOfSailorOnUSSKH]

This ship is safer and cleaner than the old fashioned gasoline engine. They should stop whining........less gas is going into the ocean this way. There is a big difference between the Atom Bomb and a ship. Of course, if the Japanese really cared about the ocean, they would stop over fishing and wiping out the entire fish population.

[honeyshimizu]

On another note the video also shows the atomic bomb that was dropped however has japan forgotten what happened at Pearl Harbor? That is my hometown and probably the city in the US that hosts and welcomes Japanese visitors as well as Japanese military. So it's really not fair to point the finger at what happened a long time ago and just conveniently forget what was done to the US. IT's in the past move on , we are friends now and let the past be the past.

[masagata2007]

It is very true, the most responsible party is Japanese government. It is highly political matter. Please don't take it personally. I welcome your boyfriend if he loves my country but not the ship.

[honeyshimizu]

I mean no disrespect to you or your country, but would just like to point out that not all americans are like those that have committed crimes in Japan. Just because the soldiers are not actively fighting for Japan, the US presense in your country is more than likely what is keeping the peace in Japan. I am from hawaii and people there feel the same about being part of the US but the fact of the matter is if the military was not there they would be sorry.

[masagata2007]

U.S. military itself is already danger to us. Well, until the cold war is over, just presence had significant meaning but not any more. Maybe in Eastern Europe things might be different because of Georgean dispute.

[honeyshimizu]

fair enough. Everyone is entitled to their opinion...but remembering it is not only the US that has this ship coming. It would not be possible without Japan's agreement so the US is not full to blame if people don't like it. People of Japan do have to realize that if they don't like it their own government is partly to blame as well..however many times it's easier to just put the blame on the americans.

[budpurps]

keep it up. give us a reason to do it again you ignorant ass. btw in MOST wars when you defeat a nation you keep it. you are lucky we didnt keep japan. jerk.
