    I don’t think the locals are too worried about Japanese imperialism.

      At this point I believe most Okinawa separatists mostly have an issue with the US military.

        Sounds about right

        Okinawa comprises only 0.6% of all Japanese territory, yet 75% of all United States military forces are stationed in U.S. facilities that take up 10.4% of Okinawa Prefecture i.e. 18.8-20% of Okinawa Island.
