Horrible, but Oppose every execution; violence violates the sacred dignity of every human life. “The dignity of human life must never be taken away, even in the case of someone who has done great evil.”(JPII) Death penalty is immoral in all cases, does not uphold life, or help grieving families.

Which is always so traditionally tied to some other political grudge larger Japan has with the US, the reaction is usually “O-kayy, what is it THIS time? 🙄”

Always a female victim. Always a rape/sex crime. Often, not always, underage. The Birth of a Nation “Don’t let them near our virtuous women” vibes are off the charts for postwar Japanese—and occupied Okinawans in particular—but they’re less apologetic about it.

There were no “Trumpsters” around then. To think it’s political in any way shows how shallow your thoughts are. There’s just a lot of pieces of shit in the military. It’s that simple.

Republican voters of 2006 are way different than Republican voters of 2016 or 2026. There were no MAGA cultists then. That’s my point. They’re dumb brutes sure, but everyone’s so quick to point at a problem and ascribe it to the opposite political party, and it is stupid.

US marines are expected to adhere to the highest standards. The problem is that this applies to *American* standards, norms and values. Judging from American society, Americans do not value life as highly as other cultures, particularly the life of women.
