Bases in the US also have this issue. It is systemic. Stateside, prosecutions of soldiers who rape women don’t see the light of day. The Florida panhandle is awash with stories of GIs raping women and facing zero consequences. I’ve friends that this has happened to. The whole damn system is guilty as hell.
trump is known to have raped many women and republicans still want him to be president. The fact of the matter is that certain people just don’t care about women and them being raped. We call those people republicans.
Fuck the Republicans, but the Democrats have had just as much time and power to deal with this systemic issue and have done nothing either. The military acts with bipartisan impunity.
Agreed. Usually I don’t like both sidings it but this is just straight up facts.
And conservative voters see any measure to tackle this issue, no matter how benign, as “weak liberal nonsense” and “a waste of time” that cheapens our fighting ability. Of course I’m sure their hearts are set on what’s best for our military, and not that they’re sexist, racist abusers who don’t want their sexist, racist abuse to be challenged.
This issue goes back at least as far as living memory for the US. We were particularly vicious to German women at the end of WWII. GI’s having illegitimate children with local women in Asia during our multiple wars there was so common it’s basically a trope.
To be fair, it isn’t important enough to either party to substantively deal with, because they would have.
There’s a reason the bad part of town is so close to the local military base
Hell the only brothel I have ever seen had a yearly police support sticker all in a line by the door.
Those girls really loved pizza
Wait you mean the military industrial complex is bad all the way through??? I AM SO SHOCKED. 😮 😆
There are still people who do not know this, unfortunately.
I see you Okaloosa.
The fact that the US protects their officials and soldiers from the weight of other countries’ law is disgraceful. Unfortunately, it will not change until its allies begin threatening them with kicking their bases out.
This so much. The US in general has a problem of having people who are ostensibly above the law.
The police have qualified immunity. SCOTUS has no real check on their conduct. And now the president is immune from prosecution.
Internationally the US has no regard for International law. They have refused to be bound by several crucial international treaties.
I completely agree that sex crimes cannot be tolerated. So, when can we expect those apologies for forcing women and girls into sexual slavery as ‘comfort women’ ? 🤔
Does Japan even acknowledge what happened in Korea?
Nah, the Japanese government since WW2 has primarily been run by war criminals or the children of war criminals. Modern Japan is basically what Germany would have been if people like Goring got to skip the Nuremberg trials and instead became the president.
I love that Sweden signed the DCA the other day so the US military can come here and do it here too.
Hard to see the alliance between the USA and Japan breaking down for any reason.
