Why is the U.S. military running around with weapons in our country?
The U.S. military’s Northern Training Area in northern Okinawa Prefecture. In front of the gate of the helipad, where Ospreys repeatedly take off and land. In front of the gate of the helipad where the Osprey repeatedly takes off and lands, a small woman dressed in a seemingly strong-looking outfit of a combat cap, black jacket, work pants and laced-up boots was giving a speech with a loudspeaker in her hand.
The woman’s name was Midori Nakamura, 40 years old. She is the president of Kaei Juku, a right-wing nationalist organization based in Chiba Prefecture. This speech in front of the base is what Nakamura calls a “story-telling” speech. He points out the inequality of the fact that 70% of the U.S. military bases in Japan are concentrated in Okinawa, and denounces the construction of new bases in Henoko and Takae. They convey these thoughts to the Okinawans who work at the bases and call for solidarity. Over the past three and a half years, he has spent 272 days in Okinawa and has spoken to the people there more than 40 times.
Why is Nakamura, a right-winger, so obsessed with Okinawa?
