The Japanaese were a brutal people in World War Two. Let them have a national referendum on that treaty and if they vote to dishonor the treaty we should leave them high and dry at the mercy of China. See how that works out for them we should stop guarding south korea's border too and use those troops to guard our border.

Because of repeated cases of rape or rape charges against US military personnel,
Japanese are protesting and demanding removal.

Should the Japanese have a say in screening and approving US troops through their own military
to make sure these troops are safe and not criminal?

The Third Amendment against quartering of troops only applies to US citizens,
but what about the concept. What if the Japanese had representation through
its own military and could agree on a policy for screening and staging US troops if this is affecting their population. Wouldn't the US want screening of foreign people serving as part of our national security?

Would that solve the problem? If both countries did the screening to weed out criminally unsafe people?

I think there would have to be a huge reduction in crimes committed by US military personnel to satisfy the Japanese. Japan has the second lowest violent crime rate in the world. Comparing the US to Japan, the US has a murder rate of almost 5 times that of Japan. The rate on rape in the US is 27 times greater than in Japan. Violenct crimes are simply not tolerated in Japan. The Japanese view drug possession as almost an unconscionable act. Japanese citizens who are caught growing, possessing, or using illegal drugs of pretty much any kind find themselves in deep trouble, compared to the US. DUI which means over 3%, carries a $5,000 to $10,000 fine and 3 to 5 year in jail. Prison in Japan carries a huge social stigma and any type of arrest is considered a terrible disgrace.

We should not jeopardize our military presence in a area where it is needed because of some black rapists.

Not even to mention the rape of U.S. soldiers, sailors and airmen occur at a horrendous rate.....and there are 2 facts regarding that which the military covers up....most of the victims are men and most of the perps are black.

15 times more men are raped by men in military than Pentagon report

The liberal myth of black victimhood prevents the truth from being told...in the military as well as in the civilian world in America....Blacks comitt rape all out of proportion to their percentage of the population.

Interracial Rape Statistics
When whites do violence -- rape, murder, assault -- how often do they choose black victims? Shouldn't a nation of bigots target blacks most of the time? At least half of the time? Of course, it does not. When whites commit violence, they to it to blacks 2.4 percent of the time. Blacks, on the other hand, choose white victims more than half the time. [317]

In those cases in which the race of the killer is known, blacks kill twice as many whites as whites kill blacks. Black-on-white robberies and gang assaults are twenty-one times more common than white on black. In the case of gang robbery, blacks victimize whites fifty-two times more often than whites do blacks. [318]

The contrasts are even more stark in the case of interracial rape. Studies from the late 1950s showed that the vast majority of rapes were same-race offenses. Research in Philadelphia carried out in 1958 and 1960 indicated that of all rapes, only 3.2 percent were black-on-white assaults and 3.6 percent were white-on-black. Since that time, the proportion of black-on-white rapes has soared. In a 1974 study in Denver, 40 percent of all rapes were of whites by blacks, and not one case of white-on-black rape was found. In general, through the 1970s, black-on-white rape was at least ten times more common that white-on-black rape. [319]

Because interracial rape is now overwhelmingly black on white, it has become difficult to do research on it or to find relevant statistics. The FBI keeps very detailed national records on crime, but the way it presents rape data obscures the racial element rather than clarifies it. Dr. William Wilbanks, a criminologist at Florida International University, had to sift carefully through the data to find that in 1988 there were 9,406 cases of black-on-white rape and fewer than ten cases of white-on-black rape. [320] Another researcher concludes that in 1989, blacks were three or four times more likely to commit rape than whites, and that black men raped white women thirty times as often as white men raped black women. [321]

Interracial crime figures are even worse than they sound. Since there are more than six times as many whites as blacks in America, it means that any given black person is vastly more likely to commit a crime against a white than vice versa.
