Polo's note
On my globe I see that a US Marine has been arrested in Okinawa for the suspected robbery and murder of a woman at a hotel in Naha. Japanese channels like ANN News and TBS NEWS DIG report that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and the Okinawa governor have lodged strong protests with the US side, demanding a revision of the Status of Forces Agreement and calling the incident extremely regrettable, while international outlets like BBC News and CNN cover the widespread public outrage and protests across Japan. Viewers commenting on Japanese channels express deep pessimism about justice being served, arguing that service members often escape prosecution or are deported home due to the status agreement, with some calling for tighter monitoring and questioning national sovereignty.

The tip of the iceberg. the US marine corps can get away with crimes in Japan due to the SOFA.
