From a reader: ""The U.S. military's long-strained relationship with the
people of Okinawa is more tense than usual now that two American servicemen are
being prosecuted for gang-raping a Japanese woman in mid-October. Okinawans, who
are tired of hosting more than 20,000 American soldiers—half of the 47,000
American servicepeople stationed in Japan—still remember the gang rape of a
12-year-old Japanese girl in 1995."
