Welcome to the politically correct military. It is going to take a generation of two to undo the mess that the Obama regime made of the military.
Flying without that mask on in many circumstances is a very good idea. Ditto the visor, again, under certain circumstances.
That list of complaints about “behavior”? What do you expect of a bunch of young, high tempo troops stationed far from home with limited ways to “unwind”? That list of “offenses” applies to each and every group of people of any ilk anywhere in the world. The only exceptions are probably various groups of strongly religious folks. Heck, they posted a story last week about 4 Catholic Nuns that got pregnant.
The real issue here is that the Japanese, in general, aren’t happy having the US Military on their territory. I make absolutely no complaints here, it is just a general fact that they, as a population, would rather have us elsewhere. None of the behaviors that mayor listed are foreign to the Japanese population, not at all. They are pretty good at covering such behavior up and sweeping it under the rug.
I can, with a totally clear conscience, state that their fighter pilots act in a very similar method when “far from home”, exactly like every other nationality of crewmembers! At least a handful out of every group. No surprises here.
That’s ok David. It was probably Obama’s fault.
Bombing a country on a Sunday morning and then losing a war with them may create a condition where future comments are disregarded.
I never knew Obama was involved with Military training and discipline.
We’re unprofessional… but we beat your country.
I can live with that.
Maybe the locals are not being taught history in school? if the situation was reversed, how would Japanese troops act in lands that they defeat in a war? Just sayin’
