    It’s most likely a joint drug taskforce.

    EDIT: Actually, I think most of these are troops deployed on United Nations peacekeeping assignments. Thats the only way Japan makes sense. Nevermind, this is US troop deployments.

      The 50,000 we have here is actually all US troops, nothing UN-related about them. We just are that heavily occupied. It is consistently the single biggest topic for Okinawan politics because of all the problems they cause locally.

        Oh I read the map wrong, I thought that was other countries deployments, as in JSDF troops deployed in peacekeeping missions.
