[edit] Needs more work

This page could really do with some work; it appears to be a cut-and-paste job. Buckshot06 09:14, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed...There are SEVERAL huge things left unmentioned - such as Lesbain baiting...Ed-it 01:43, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Understandably, this article could never hope to be fully exhaustive, and would not benefit from becoming an exhaustive list of incidents. Still, as violent crime (both sexual and not) on the part of US soldiers in Okinawa is one of the major elements of controversy surrounding US presence in Okinawa, it would be good to mention it.

[edit] POV?

"The existence of sexual harassment and assault is an inherent contradiction to the spirit of the Academies that strives to and succeeds in creating strong commitments to honor and service." POV plz? 75.40.225.228 00:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

A quote from a Department of Defense document. The bulk of the article consist of quotes from their report on sexual harassments at the academies. Fred Bauder 14:16, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What about other countries?

This is an interesting topic, but it would be nice to have a comparison between the American situation and that in other countries... FilipeS (talk) 14:13, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
