YuriOtani, you posted a viable solution. Instead of telling us, you should try to contact Lt. General Rice, the USFJ(U.S. Forces of Japan) Commander. Maybe he'll listen to you because many posters here won't.

YuriOtani, what does my previous message about U.S. forces training in the Philippines have anything to do with Okinawan matters?

You're right, but there are a couple hundred U.S. troops training and working with the Filipino forces against terrorist groups like Jemaah Islamiyah and Abu Sayyaf. Couple of my buddies came back from training there, but you wouldn't know how it's like, would you?

I agree with Noripinhead about the U.S. taking the lead. The Haitian government is in shambles, aid is slowly coming in, and the U.N. peacekeepers already there are trying to deal with their own casualties. The U.S. military did an excellent job during the Indonesian tsunami rescue, but I don't see anyone giving them praise. I have Slingbox, so I'm able to watch news like CNN, Fox, and BBC, where reporters are reporting live. The Haitians lack basic necessities. They have no food, water, or medicine. It is that bad.

General Alexander B. Yano, 38th Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines(AFP), stated the Philippine military cannot fully defend the country from external threats due to a lack of weapons and a preoccupation with crushing long-running communist and Muslim insurgencies.
....yes,"PI is doing fine."

Not sure many people know China is building an aircraft carrier due out in 2015 and trying to augment its blue water navy, not to mention its progressive increase in defense budget. Unless Japan increases its defense budget which is less than $50 bil(2008) as well as considering the draft system(if they decide to expel the U.S. off Japan soil), the U.S.'s military presence will be here for a while.

Do you think the Americans would be here if Japan hadn't deliberately attacked Pearl Harbor? Don't blame the U.S. for being here, blame your own government.

Popeye's is already here, at the American bases, though, along with Taco Bell,... and Chili's!

Most of the programs are terrible, even painful at times. You tend to see the same tarento on different channels. The documentaries are pretty good, though. Fortunately, I was able to get a Slingbox which allows me to watch stateside tv.

YuriOtani, I've seen your posts on other topics. Just admit it: you hate America. Whether the American government, including the military, makes a decision, good or bad, it's decided. The Japanese government takes decades. Am I wrong?

I think you meant the Japanese Zero fighter that crash landed on Ni'ihau and was aided by Japanese-American residents. In the end, the residents killed the pilot.
I knew of this one...I'm from Hawaii. Mahalo.

As an American, I'm not. Try reading non-Japanese history books.

I'm definitely for the death penalty. So to those people against it, if a killer tied you up and made you watch him/her kill your loved one(s), then untie you, you wouldn't want to kill that person, or at least want him/her dead?...just curious.

I think there are some good schools out there, but the teachers get paid peanuts: overworked and underpaid. I've been teaching eikaiwa as well as doing the ALT circuit for about 10 years and I've seen how badly teachers are treated. I remember when foreigners where hired directly by the city to teach in public schools and made close to 400,000 a month. Now it's half that(temp staff companies need their cut, too). Eikaiwa schools give no incentives for their teachers to stay long. That's why all the good ones leave.

yuriotani,
Your statement is full of crap. Less than a million Japanese civilians died compared to the almost 15 million Russian civilians that lost their lives. You really need to check your history books.

You really don't know why "we(US troops)" are here do you? Look in your history books.
