    In 1972, Okinawa prefecture was returned to Japanese control after United States forces occupied the islands at the end of the Second World War. Since then, there have been 6,409 arrests for criminal offenses related to US military personnel

    Intolerable, but also unsurprising.

    Guns, violence and death are the primary exports of the US. It’s time to show them the door and deny all US citizens entry to any country in the world.

      That is an extreme generalization to group all US citizens under and advocate for collective punishment. This is the same type of rhetoric used by Trump, and using it is disgraceful.

        This was obviously an emotional response to vent off, and taking in consideration how much more harmful the US has become in recent times, it should be understandable.

          Emotional venting is understandable, but please try to be more responsible with it. Saying things like that can very quickly rile up others and spiral. As harmful as the US has been lately, the last thing any of us need is for that hate to spread other places. Most people in the US agree with you that what has been happening is unacceptable.
