Take Back Kadena Air Force Base.

Image
The most powerful base in Okinawa is Kadena Air Force Base(AFB). Kadena AFB has two runways with ammunition depot area.  This base is much bigger than Narita Tokyo Air Port. While Henoko's construction is stopping, people start to eliminate all U.S. bases in Okinawa. After the WW 2, U.S. Military took over this ex-Japanese Military runway. And Expanded the function of the base. From Korean war and Vietnam war, also up to now. This base has been used for the war of U.S. Many accidents are happening all the time.

Camp Foster has Headquarter office, Soldier's & Family's housings, Primary & Junior high & high school, Fire station, Post office, Bank, Church, Supermarket, Cinema, Bowling alley & more amusement facilities. Everything you need in your daily life is here.  60 to 70 % are over 60's people. Their hearts are strong. Suddenly, people started to close a gate. Police and securities couldn't do any. What is this fence? What is divided by this? Why people over there have to cover their faces? Japanese Police, Japanese security guards and other authorities. Why they stay other side?
