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.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/20/world/asia/japan-okinawa-protest-united-states-military.html
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?
