    Why is it that people just comment on the bad side of the bases, and forget to mention on the thousands of jobs that the bases offer to the locals here. Also knowing several Okinawan people that live here, and hearing it from several of them. It seems that its mainland people that move to Okinawa that seem to be complaing the most. As several Okinawans I have talked to here don't really seem to care about the bases. As for the people that own the land they have on base access and are able to come on base. So what do they have to complain about.

    Talking from my own experince, living next to futenma, study and my wife being Okinawan. It seems like most of the people that want Futenma gone is mainland japanese people. Also Okinawa was much better off when the US had control of it after WWII, and seriously not many people complain about there lands being used by US military bases since they get a pretty good chunk of change every year, and I know because my family is leasing one out. If it wasn't for the US being here in Okinawa, it was the US miltary who built one of the first paved road here in Okinawa.

    This is just some FYI I have been in Okinawa for a long time and have met of a lot of Okinawan people who are not bothered by the US military, and are actually greatful they are here. Since the military provides jobs for about 30,000 local nationals. Once again this is information that I know of, so please I dont need any hating comments.

    Stupid mainlanders need to go back to mainland instead of spoiling the fun for everyone here in Okinawa
