I partly agree with Bernt on this one; one crime is too many. If the military can't discipline their own troops, they shouldn't let them off the base at all.

Though of course any reduction in any crime is to be welcomed. And now for the latest incident, as reported by NHK: <a href="http://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/2008/02/11/k20080211000018.html" rel="nofollow">a Marine has been arrested for raping a 14 year old girl in Okinawa</a> :( I was going to say more or less the same as Skippy-san above: I’m no statistician, but on the face of it those figures look like typical fluctuation.

Because 1 crime committed by US millitary is one too many. I personally thik they should pack and leave. Japan and US should have an agreement like NATO yet not have US millitary bases here. It's occupation and imperialism. Just like in Iraq. Why don't they all go to Iraq? It does not matter. Because 1 crime committed by US millitary is one too many.

Look closely at the numbers-they can be attributed just as much to statistically anaomlies and the current operating schedule as well as changes in the demographics here. I'd love to see the stats with on base incidents thrown in and with DUI numbers too. It would tell a very different story.
