The need for these policies in Japan as they have been in Korea is the same. They are not to protect GIs from local nationals. They are necessary to protect local national from GIs.

Too many servicemembers seem to have forgotten that. Long gone are the 1.5 days of liberty a week (units were in the field, or perfoming maintenance the rest of the week), or the one weekend a month liberty for deployed units. Don't get me wrong...I enjoyed my libbo with the best of them back in the day...because I cherished it, as I knew how precious it was, and that it could be taken away. :cool: As we were always told in the Corps…”Liberty is a Privilege…NOT a Right!”
