U.S. military to return 17 percent of land it controls in Okinawa

[/QUOTE]The U.S. military said on Friday it was preparing to hand back to the Japanese government more than a sixth of the land it controls in Okinawa, in a move that could help defuse opposition to the American presence on the island.

The 4,000 hectares (40 square kilometers) of land to be returned is part of a jungle training camp in the north of Okinawa, the military said in a statement.http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ja...-idUSKCN1090KY

It's fine now, now they can grow exotic fruits.

Hopefully it reduces tension without affecting the strength or capability of the US forces there.

My guess is that it won't.

No that's Guam, a much smaller island. They tend to ride higher up in the water according to the Democrats.
