[quote:Anonymous Coward 60566493:MV8zMjA2NjI4XzU3MjgzMjk1XzdGMTM1NDkx] I was stationed there in the AF in 1975. Even then there was a big mess over a marine that killed a 14 year old school girl. Another gang of marines were stalking the streets and one of them killed a guy I had traveled there with. He got stabbed in the chest and died on a sidewalk. Okinawa is a very warm, humid place, sometimes like a festering jungle. The marines on Oki then were living in the worst quarters I ever heard of in the military. Flooded barracks when it rained, lizards on the walls and no regular passes to go downtown. When they did get a pass it would be a whole group all at once and they would roam the streets pissed off and drunk, scaring crap out of the little Ryuguyan people. We should leave. Marines' fault.

Japan’s Okinawa Sees Massive Protests Against US Military Bases After Woman’s Murder.
Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets Sunday to stage a massive demonstration against the presence of U.S. military bases on the Japanese island of Okinawa, following the arrest of an American suspected of raping and murdering a local woman.
The killing of the woman, who had been missing for several weeks when her body was found last month, sparked a major outrage in Okinawa, where tensions have been running high over crime linked to American troops. The U.S. contractor was arrested on May 19 on suspicion of abandoning the woman’s body. He is a former Marine.

Fresh arrest warrant served on U.S. base worker over Okinawa woman’s murder
NAHA, OKINAWA PREF. – Okinawa police served a further arrest warrant Thursday on a detained civilian base worker for the rape and murder of a 20-year-old local woman in April, investigative sources said.
Kenneth Franklin Shinzato, 32, a former U.S. Marine who was a civilian employee of Kadena Air Base, was initially arrested May 19 on suspicion of dumping the woman’s body.
Shinzato is suspected of raping the woman in a grassy field on a roadside in Uruma in central Okinawa and stabbing her to death with a knife on the night of April 28. The woman was taking a walk at the time.
