The government expressed “regret” to U.S. Ambassador Rahm Emanuel over the incident and called for stronger oversight of behavior by military personnel, Hayashi said.
“That something like this was done to a minor not only causes great fear to local residents living side-by-side with U.S. bases but tramples on the dignity of women,” he told reporters. “The excessive burden of hosting military bases is an everyday matter for us, and is intolerable.”
nothing will change
All those countries that have been so eager for America to open bases on their soil: here is your future.
Hey that’s not fair.
They also do a lot of drunk driving
We had a burger warship in Stockholm a few years back, and they immediately got caught for prostitution/sexual trafficking.
Don’t worry tho, liberals assured me there won’t be any American bases or nuclear weapons on Swedish soil. Of course, they’re not explicitly forbidden to store nuclear material in Sweden, they even fought to keep the option open, and they have “unlimited unregulated access” to 17 bases here. But it’s totally not the same bro, it’s different, bro. Trust me, bro.
I think I remember that. Around 2014 IIRC. There was a huge bulletin sent out to the whole DoD that they were going to actually be enforcing the anti-prostitution regulations. I was on a ship at the time, and an uncomfortably high number of guys expressed disappointment.
