Yankees Go Home! - Japan

April 1996
We take a look at local resentment of the US military presence in Okinawa.

This valuable archive looks back over the strained relationship between the two groups in this Southern Japanese island. Many Okinawans resent the US army presence and the pollution. The governor complains: "We cannot use our own land. We cannot use our own sky."

LEAVE Japan, South Korea, NATO, and every alliance we currently have. We can then examine them at a later date and save Billions of dollars not to mention the men and women risking there lives. We've been forced into being the world's police force ever since Europe and Asia thought it would be fun to self destruct 65 years ago. We spent even more money offering them a hand with the Marshall Plan. Now we're stuck in these alliances, but we don't have to be! Wish them good luck and LEAVE!

that's total bollocks, how can it be right to occupy a country over a war that ended over 60 years ago? the current generation that has to deal with this had no part in the said war. i'm not saying japan is innocent but this is imperialism, almost as bad as my country used to be (and possibly

still is in northern ireland.)

@ddbonner

You must be nut to say "We've been forced into being the world's police force".

It is a front for laundering money to the us politicians. US troops are not there

for good will purpose - Think beyond what you see or told by the politicians for a change.

Respond to this video... You really Believe YOU WERE THE VICTIMS. This crazy Victim-Hood mentality, oh~ Poor Japan. You don't have a clue WHAT Japan did during WW2.

Nobody Blames the Japanese of today for WW2, I doubt there are even a handful of people alive today that participated in Nanking, or the dozens of Atrocities Japan committed. But we are blaming you for acting like a bunch of Spoiled Rotten KIDS. AND That's exactly what you are. Again, You are Welcome! You ARE NOT VICTIMS! GrowUp!
