the internal rape problem is aan external rape problem, too. i can't speak to okinawa/japan or japanese racists but the stories i've heard from troops deployed to the phillipines make my skin crawl. there is far too much of the military apparatus who think they're justified to do whatever they can get away with by their need to keep america safe.
meanwhile, they've been brainwashed. they don't keep america safe, they maintain extraction economies. and the culture of rape in the american military only engenders hatred of america in those extraction economies.
the problem isn't specific to any base or to any internal or external statistic. the problem is a culture of not viewing women as humans within the military
Uh huh. Well the crime statistics sure don't reflect the random stories from rapists you hang out with for some reason.
