Response to the four marines invasted for rape

There are a great number of military bases thriving everywhere in Japan, and they are regarded as questionable for a long time. Besides, there were some precedents that servicemen made passes at girls by now, and some of them were televised on the news. However, there was a sexual assault committed by American soldier few years ago, but it is doubtful whether he was punished or not. The crime might be left as it is still now in the darkness, though.

Regarding the article, "Four marines investigated for rape," four marines were arrested as suspect ion of gang rape. The woman who was raped was working at the bar and she encountered with the marines. They picked her up and committed the crime.

To this matter, U.S. side stated that they completely cooperate to solute the truth of the matter. However, Japanese government is only waiting the result of investigation.

There are two responses to this article :

First letter was, "Don't judge marines too fast" which was written by Mannel Sandoval. He said that the woman who is working at the bar should have inferred her situation. She has already known which position she was placed for, and what was expected for her. Therefore, Japanese government should not give sudden judgement to the marines, they should do careful consideration. In addition, U.S. army is protecting Japan from China and North Korea from attack. He emphasizes the importance of U.S. army. That is indeed, but it does not mean that they can commit a crime because they are the army marines. The woman was probably has raped. It is selfish that it was her responsibility to be raped and where she was worked at.

Second letter was, "Disgusting outlook on woman" and it was from Kevin Egan. He said that it is a wrong opinion that the woman was raped depended on where she was worked at, worked at the bar. Besides, the crime was nothing to do with the army. It does not mean that they can freely commit a crime because there are bases around the world. In addition, what is the most important thing is that the woman was in the weakest position. That is true. It is woman that who is always be hurted in mind and body.
