It’s .6 percent of landmass, but the national government puts three quarters of American troops there. The bases take up more than 10% of the landmass within the Ryukyu islands.

It’s an intentional policy of putting the violent drunks in a territory they don’t care about protecting from the consequences of having American military personal nearby.

It’s fucked up.
