Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
In 1972, Okinawa prefecture was returned to Japanese control after United States forces occupied the islands at the end of the Second World War. Since then, there have been 6,409 arrests for criminal offenses related to US military personnel
Intolerable, but also unsurprising.
Like I said in another comment. It's a very common trend in places that have American bases. The worst part is that they will shield the perpetrators and transfer them to the US where they get slaps on the wrist.
Just one example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teo_Peter
When colonial aggression colors outside of the lines.
Guns, violence and death are the primary exports of the US. It's time to show them the door and deny all US citizens entry to any country in the world.
That is an extreme generalization to group all US citizens under and advocate for collective punishment. This is the same type of rhetoric used by Trump, and using it is disgraceful.
This was obviously an emotional response to vent off, and taking in consideration how much more harmful the US has become in recent times, it should be understandable.
Emotional venting is understandable, but please try to be more responsible with it. Saying things like that can very quickly rile up others and spiral. As harmful as the US has been lately, the last thing any of us need is for that hate to spread other places. Most people in the US agree with you that what has been happening is unacceptable.

BTW, the "weapons" category is the light green stuff in the bottom right.
The US starts wars over resources, including pertroleum/gas. So your chart supports my idea to some degree. Besides, why did you miss the point of me being polemic? Wasn't it obvious that this was an emotional response and not a factual one? This is a rhetorical question. I'm not interested in a deeper discussion, you've misunderstood that. I was just venting off steam.
I tend to take things literally, sorry about that.
There's a great deal of violence around all those products in the bottom left corner and the purple section, without which most of the rest of that board doesn't exist or at least not to the same extent.
Chalmers Johnson's book Blowback, actually uses this as an example
