    Big deal, I'm in Panmunjom, we're on 'lock-down' 24/7, if we want to leave, we have to request a pass to go down to Yongsan.

    As a retired Marine that served on Okinawa 3 times, I'm ashamed at the actions these young Marines are taking now a days.
    If the Corps kept them in the field training for war, they'd have less time to embarass the fine institution that so many have served and died for.
    GROW UP MARINES!

    Before we condemn the Marines on Okinawa it is important to look at the statistics of how little crime they commit compared the general population.

    As well as the fact that the Marine arrested for rape had the charges brought against him dropped by the Japanese police.

    That is why it is important to wait and see how these things play out and judge the Marines by statistics instead compared to the general population before we condemn them.
