i'm very sorry for the tragedy that has fell on japan..you and i may have differences but japan did not deserve what has happened with the earth quake and tsunami and the other devastion.
@ghostpony61 I am glad with your words. As for nuke trouble, Japan might have deserved that many citizens including me protest the nation's nuke power policy. Well, this time, the US is helping us a lot. I realize we have a great friend over Pacific.
@ghostpony61 Sorry if you are personally offended. I read your profile. I do not want to cause any emotional conflict. It is highly political issue. The state diplomacy is tough to handle. By the way, you might be interested how people like me think of acknowledgement of the past aggression Japan committed. You can learn that from the site which you can search by "Dear People of the world Met with the surviros of Nanking Masscre"
if you think the americans are so bad..the north koreans would be far worse and have long memories for what japan did to it during WWII maybe this is what japan wants? to be dominated and then put down like the dogs they truly are.
@ghostpony61 Poor thing! Now Americans are having problem in their life. The only way to destruct frustration is so called, patriotism, like North Korean govnt does to their starving people. Young people join the army by poverty draft. The rich starts the war using poor youngsters as their game tool. It is truly dream country, isn't it.
@ghostpony61 Only richest 5% owns 60% of the wealth. Richest 400 households has equivalent to the bottom half. Every year 20000 die because of lack of medical insurance. Youngsters join the army to get college education but when they are discharged, they are mentally ill so that they cannnot study. I don't want my country to be like that. Maybe in the past it was. This ship taught us the lesson that your country is no longer friend to us. In fact it never was.
the reason we are in ur pathetic country was because of what happened on december 7th 1941 and the atrocities japan inflicted on it's neighbors..just ask china or korea? you people have no memory or refuse to acknowledge what the empire of japan did to a lot of people how many chinese died at the hands of jap soldiers? how many korean women were raped by the jap soldiers? there has not been any acknoweledgement by japan for war crimes comitted against it's neighbors until then fuck off japan.
@ghostpony61 The official reason was to defend us from evil communists like Soviet Union. It wasn't bad until the Cold War era ended. We could have received financial aid in exchange because the US was afraid the Soviet would take over Japan. Anyway time has changed. The atrocities? Like Nazis or what your anscestors did to Native Americans. Well, it is up to us whether to let you stay in our nation or not.

Like Nazis or what your anscestors did to Native Americans or Vietnamese or your people are doing to Iraqi, afghans. Well, it is up to us whether to let you stay in our nation or not. We have to decide.
And we are not all bad.... how about a post of the sailors pulling in on the ship spelling out "nice to meet you" in Japanese writing. We are trying. And well from what I have heard this crew is much more well behaved than the kitty hawk, at least that is a plus.
That last comment wasn't to say, Japanese people are bad look what they did because you all are some pretty peaceful protestors... although different than the US. Normally when we protest something we don't go and enjoy and visit it... but I was just saying if you are so scared of a nuclear leak then why bomb it? I know it was only 2 people found but I'm sure they are not the only 2 in this little group.
I don't know if you recall or not but right after the GW got here Japanese found in a residential area were trying to use rocket bombs to bomb the base. First off... could have killed many innocent people, people not even military, children and hell even japanese people who work and live here. Second if those hit the GW I'm sure that would be more likely to cause more damage IMO than an earthquake.
It would take an essay to really discuss why you are such an idiot, masagata... you have no idea what you are talking about. I'll just list a few things:
1. You obviously have no idea how a Nuclear Rx works. Comparing it to a bomb going off is insane. The Rx don't even need operators for protection; they are inherently safe by design. If you want to argue certain things about it I'd love to. I can't give details away, but I'm a former Nuclear Operator on the GW.
2. Have you ever been involved with Damage Control on a ship? Have you been on a ship to see the thousands of compartments? The crew was ready to attack the fire within a few minutes of it being called away, but the location of the fire took a while for it to be noticed (an unmanned storage space). And when the fire is so big, and the source an extremely flammable one, it takes a massive amount of time to combat. Again, you have no idea what you are talking about in that respect.
3. The Naval presence in the region is a deterrent, even if you don't want to admit it. Having the capability to launch a full airstrike within minutes, with planes carrying enough firepower to destabilize a government in a short period of time, is going to be something that passes through the minds of those like Kim Jong-il before they do something stupid. And if something ever did happen to Japan, you would be thankful to have a strong ally at your side. Those sailors are serving you as well.
4. I don't know how you can generalize everyone in the US Military based on the actions of a few. Those few did a disservice to our country, as well as yours. Everyone I knew on the ship was excited about going to Japan, and looked forward to learning a new culture. It certainly doesn't hurt your economy.
5. Overall, I can respect your protest of our presence militarily; however, you have no real basis for your attack. There are many other issues with what you show in the video, which is mostly uneducated propaganda, in an attempt to draw support. If you want a legitimate protest that I will consider taking seriously, do your homework a little bit more...
When N. Korea launches a missile, it is when they decided to commit suicide. So no deterrent presence is needed. They would do that anyway. The only deterrent is diplomacy.

That is our defense force does. Not yours. The video describes why you don't. Sorry.

What if a missile was launched, and it was shot down before it hit land? Wouldn't that prove to be useful?
