The Guardian: Sky-high selfies: Japan warns US over 'outrageous' antics of military pilots
Marine corps pilots took photos and read books while flying, according to a US military investigation
Japan’s defence ministry is to call on US forces based in the country to ensure the safety of their aircraft after pilots from a marine corps unit involved in a deadly crash last year were shown taking selfies and reading books while flying.
A US military report on the investigation into the December 2018 crash revealed widespread misconduct among the unit’s pilots, including some who had posted selfies from their cockpits on social media.
One was shown combing his moustache mid-flight and another reading The Great Santini, a 1976 novel about a marine corps fighter pilot, with his hands off the controls.

The Japanese have long been under intense pressure by their people to reduce or eliminate US presence on their territory because of the undisciplined US military continually raping and brutalizing civilian Japanese women. Now this. Can the undisciplined US people ever field a professional military? It is doubtful.
10:01 does not know how many rapes there are per year in the general population or any of the subsets like age cohort, ethnicity etc in Okinawa.
@Anonymous
Sure, just like how the Nanjing massacre never happened, right?
SCMP gave the facts on the # of rapes from 1972 through 2015. They come out to 3 a year on average.
The rape rate on average for japan was 2 per 100,000 trending down to 1 per 100,000.
Do not have trend data for US military. That they keep bringing up the 1995 rape a quarter of a century later would indicate that nothing as heinous had happened since then.
I would think the Japanese rape rate is GOING DOWN DUE to a GRAYING POPULATION. Different age cohorts have different criminal profiles.
All the data I have seen is that the rapists were registered Democrats.
As Japan builds up is military forces It would be nice to have less and less people stationed in Japan.

Democrats serve. Trump a draft dodger. and you? middle school and wanking nonstop in toilet
These airplanes have autopilots. Pilots can take their hands off.
Maybe
a few points though
A) if you're a male from the west, European and American especially, Asian women throw themselves at you. In China, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand etc you get 10+ tinder invites from girls every day - and I look mediocre. The girls that write you are super horny and look in our countries like a 8-9. You'd be inhumane not to date them. Especially if you're also not supposed to date your near service colleagues, and/our don't want to talk service all day. Makes sense so far? Good.
B) the girls are looked down on heavily in the local population. Often, to save face, they say you made them drunk or that you regret it or didn't want it and he insisted. Can you believe it? If not, maybe go to Asia and stay there a few years. See how often a girl you saw the night throwing herself at someone then the next day makes up some BS story to protect her image/not being called the S word. Happens every night thousands of times. Thousands!
3. Once this state takes place and alcohol is involved and a procedure involving a local court or service court takes place, a certain percentage will be wrongfully accused of committing rape or statutory rape. If you don't think that's true, you have never been to court. I've been wrongfully accused 3 times in my life on non sexual matters, one time ito went to court. "Won" all three times, but I tell you, people do all kinds of things and not everyone accused is the predator. Often they are the victim. I was 3 times a victim and 0 times have I ever pulled someone in front of court. Our legal system is so fcked that people who want money for anything, including just shopping, will try this shit on you. Once it happens to you, you look at our legal system differently. It red pills you and you begin to wonder who really are the victims here. Having been to Asia I know first hand how horny the girls are for western guys. It is beyond anything you'll ever believe unless you go there and are not completely hideous.
Might be a good learning exercise for anyone to see the world a bit clearer. Just watch out. Have witnesses when you go out. .take friends with you.

"The rape rate on average for japan was 2 per 100,000 trending down to 1 per 100,000.
Do not have trend data for US military."
I don't have the numbers but over the past couple of years US military rapes have been well documented and reported upon. In Iraq women in their own military camps reported that they had to go to the latrines at night in pairs or groups.
Here is Wiki on the subject.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_assault_in_the_United_States_military
The US military has been reluctant and very slow to accept the problem officially most likely for an obvious reason. Given that males as well as females are being raped it does not speak well of a military whose members, in particular the males, having been trained to defend themselves, are actually unable to defend themselves against their own.
"Having been to Asia I know first hand how horny the girls are for western guys."
:-O
Are they horny for western guys, or, hoping maybe move west?
And the Fred comment
"anonass at 11:44

Look at the pictures of the rapists and do the stats.
Look at the statistics of which groups vote Democrat per the Democrats and Democrats crow about it and rub it in everyone's face. (1) Democrats gloat with glee saying 89% to 96% of a group vote Democrat. (2) With Motor-Voter Bill people are automatically registered to vote.
Look at the pictures again and see, who is over-represented. Why are they over-represented? Democrats teach them to be victims.

I heard about one of these guys. He was angry about being in prison. It was a special prison for foreigners convicted of crimes. So the Japanese asked, if they could put him in general population. The Americans said yes. In Japan you work 8 hours a day on prison, foreigner or not. But it can get worse. And it did.
Bob the liar as always
" In Iraq women in their own military camps reported that they had to go to the latrines at night in pairs or groups."
The Americans do not run any prison in Iraq and have not since 2011 or before.
Those camps are run by the Kurds or the Shia.
As to your wiki link. You have not looked at age cohorts. Also, the military might have near 100% reporting. They have training on sexual assault and harassment yearly.
Japan being what it is, I wonder how much sex crime is under reported. Point being that the rape rates of American service personnel and and the Japanese population might be more closer than what you can see at 1st glance.
For example how many Filipinas working in Japan legally or illegally report sex crimes?
How many Japanese women. There is under reporting in Canada, Europe, America and in Japan.
The definition of assault and rape are different. You have to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. If you are going to compare general population to military you have to compare apples to apples.

If that response was directed at me maybe you should read that post. I didn't say anything about American run prisons in Iraq.
In fact there was one female soldier in Iraq who died from dehydration because she didn't drink liquids at or after supper so she wouldn't have to go to the latrine she was so scared of being raped.
But you did you fucking troll on November 9, 2019 at 2:08 PM
What do we learn by reading comments by those who insult, degrade others but offer nothing worthwhile as comment upon the subject? CHUDS
And Fred posted at 8:08 AM. How sweet.
HOW SWEET?
There goes Fred with his instagram insults.
Fred insulting style:
1) Call someone a girlie boy
2) Call someone a wanker
3) Call someone a CHUD
4) Instagram insult
Earning a PhD must really teach you how to insult people and win debates.
Who was your rhetoric instructor? Dr. Gutterslime?
Trump is fleeing to a safe space in Alabama where students will be punished for booing. Who's the snowflake now?
Recent sporting events have proven what the polls also tell us: Even among conservative America, the president is losing support in droves
anon
I clicked on the link. It is NOT an insult but warns about people like you who DO INSULT
Most of his picture link are insults, so why click on the nth one?
Also in your book you do not take CHUD and all the pother shit the PhD does as an insult?
Well, I guess you are a Democrat because you have double standards.
Lie
