Response to the letter of Manuel Sandoval

Today I write response to this letter written by Manuel Sandoval.



The letter written by Sandoval is a response to this letter about U.S . marines who are suspected of raping a woman in Japan. However he talks about U.S. military located all over the world. It is not the topic the writers who wrote or will write resonses try to discuss.



He says that he have been there and knows about the place where the matter happened and the people living there. Why does he know that? Did he research all people living there? It is just a too personal view having little power because it impossible to research and know all people living there.



He said in his letter that "She must have known what kind of situation she was in from the get-go". Of course you should think careful your situation so as to avoid dangers, but it does not mean that people are allowed to rape a person if the person is in such dangerous situation. The people who comitted a crime have to be punished. Whether a victim was in danger situaton or not does not matter. However it is possible that the woman trapped the guys in the case they discuss, so police and the other related organizations investigate in order to bring the fact out, so it is not hasty judgement to investigate, it is reasonable way to investigate.


Talking about U.S. forces staying in Japan, he said that U.S. might take care of Japan too long time, but many Japanese do not think so. Japanese think that U.S. forces should retreat from Japan, especially Okinawa and people living near the U.S. forces bases think like that because they sometimes or often suffer from problems made by U.S. armies. Japan is not taken care of by U.S., but it is a reciprocal help. Japan gives amount money to support U.S. forces. In fact, America is afraid that Japan has a big defense power on its own by having their own forces to defend Japan. So America intefere Japan with making a domestic combat plane
. America forced Japan to allow America to join tha project to make a new generation combat plane. The reason is that America do not want Japan have big power and against America. So Japan does not need, but U.S. need to stay thier forces in Japan so as to control the region including Japan, China, Korea and North Korea.
