  "The US military has always put high priority on entertainment and leisure. Something that the JSDF, or even ordinary Japanese don't quite understand yet"

  I'm not one to bad-mouth the JSDF, but I imagine any lack of understanding correlates to their lack combat experience. The phrase "work hard, play hard"…

  Err... that should read, "...knockoffs I see on the way to work..."

  "Special Needs", right?

  Ditto, for the most part. If car companies (and not just in Japan) would start making cool cars for the average consumer, people might start thinking cars are cool again. The endless stream of Prius-like knockoffs I see to work is a perfect example; hooray for fuel-efficiency, but I wouldn't…

  "Why can't they use the same golf cources as all the other people in Japan?"

  Show me an E-2 that can afford the green fees at your average Japanese golf course, and I'll show you a man with 11 fingers. I imagine the fees are subsidized by other MWR activities.…

  @VoxMan

  "the basis for all these news reports about the sailor "hinting" was mis-translated from the orignal Japanese to English."

  Not that I doubt your word or anything, but can you provide a link to confirm that? Or did you see that on a television report?

  Wow, I have an idea--let's cover the golf courses in concrete and build more on-base housing to segregate those filthy military types from the rest of the country, and in so doing, make Japan an even less attractive duty station for those servicemembers that have a choice of whether or…

  I took a marine biology course at the university campus on base here in Yokosuka, and one of our lab exercises was a Saturday morning trip to Tsukiji market. I think we (something like 20 students) managed to piss off pretty much the entire market, but in spite of all…

  "Ok...let’s see can we come up with a good Yokosuka gang-rape or drunk driver takes out a family story for the weekend...?"

  That would really make your day, wouldn't it?

  Seriously though, this guy deserves whatever punishment they throw at him.
