The "few bad apple" crowd is present and stands by that particular statement. Crime is intolerable REGARDLESS of who commits it. It's even more intolerable when it is someone who is supposed to be protecting the public. Even with that, it is still a very VERY rare few military service…

The US pays a far greater percentage of costs than anyone thinks. I'm at a small command on base and just got my bill for MLC Cost sharing. SHARING. My share worked out to 200k for the year JUST FOR THE OVERTIME. For 6 MLC's. SIX. I daresay that I…

Why do I get the idea that no matter what happens, some people will find something about the US that is "wrong"?

The Jcops and NCIS were sharing information, back and forth, the entire time he was in military custody.

If it's not an anti-US rant, it's anti-military, anti- military police, or anti-NCIS. Some people just look for a reason to rail on anything American.

And all from people that have no…

A negative view of Japan.... Well, the "standing army" should just leave Japan to it's own devices, I guess....

"Moderator: Why are you puzzled? The question specifically asks for opinions on any nationality of tourist group."

I think the confusion is because your allowing comparisions between nationalities on something as trivial as tourism. When news article posts about something as serious as crime, etc... you ban comparisions of ANY…

Why mention the crime? Simply another way of JT ensuring the anti-military bias is clearly represented.

But, the intent of the article is valid. When the Indy replaced the Midway, and the Hawk replaced the Indy, there was a short length of time where Sailors got stupid and had to…

I have to agree with Voxman, as well as the great way he said it. Some points that need stated again.
1. Nobody, in any forum or media, is acting as an apologist for crimes committed by military members. Or crime committed by anyone for that matter. Please point out…

Upnorth,

It might be hard to believe, but tours in those places are 16 months or less. it is quite possible, and in my case definate, that some of us have done those tours with our respective services and are back at home base. And one of those "compatriots" is…

Vor,

The reason would be transparency. Not every action, during an investigation or punishment, is openly apparent to the civilians. Especilly during an investigation.
