FUK-U-DAH!

Fukuda says military must regain public trust after scandals

A sex pervert, pimp, SM? LMF? A pathological lawbreaker? Have you tried your Prefecture Board of Education?  Yes, No? Capable of kissing the American butt without having to come out for air? A right-wing “nutter”? Then you might just have a future in Japan’s Ministry of Scandals. [And don't be put off by what the old stick says. You know the routine!] Report [Note: To save face the Mainichi Daily News has nuked own archive!]

Then again, perhaps, that is not such a bad thing, given some of the other options!

Cadets, Hip, Hip Whorrey!

What is 20 million + 3.1 million?

The numbers who lost their lives in the 15-year war of aggression by Japanese militarism: 20 million people from Asian countries; 3.1 million people from Japan.

In the event of another war an estimated 80 million Japanese people could die of starvation and disease.

Say “NO” to Ultra Nationalism! Stop the Revision of Japanese Constitution!

Japan is doing just fine without a military and does not have to participate in United Nations military adventures. The anti-war clause in Japan’s constitution was put there for good reasons.

Japanese wars of aggression from the Manchurian Incident to the Pacific War proved the complete inability of the Japanese government to control its military and the emotional ease with which the Japanese people could be led into all manner of hysterical militaristic excess once the military did gain control.

Nothing has happened since 1945 to change those reasons. The Japanese are still a highly emotional people…

Stop the Road to War!

The formulation of a new constitution is a coup d’état!

Of all the paths and options available, the road to war would be the costliest mistake, a deadly choice Japan can ill afford to make.

Send your thugs to Okinawa for retaliatory action, Mr Ando!

Send your tiny tikes to Okinawa to do some good, Mr. Ando, they will have plenty to retaliate. Why not teach them to protect the chastity of the local damsels in distress, for starters, instead of condoning their antisocial behavior toward friendly foreigners (see previous post).

One recent survey by a school teacher on Okinawa found a third of his female high school students had been sexually molested by U.S. soldiers, a violation U.S. base officers have often dismissed as ‘flirting, because boys will be boys.’

Since the end of WWII, the livelihood and human rights of Okinawans have been violated by high-level noise pollution from military drills, aircraft accidents, environmental destruction, and crimes committed by U.S. military personnel.

One of the worst postwar crimes committed by US military in Okinawa was the 1955 rape and murder of six-year-old Yumiko. The accused, Isaac J. Hart, was not convicted. In 1995 three US servicemen abducted and gang-raped a 12-year-old girl; however, Japan could not try the accused servicemen at the time of the incident because the US-Japan Status of Forces Agreement gave US soldiers immunity from local laws!
