Text Fwd: Media Falsification in Japan Regarding the Military Matter

* Text from Makiko Sato on Feb. 2, 2010


'Thanks to Satoko's hardwork to reveal the meticulous falsification of Japanese mass media,
we all here know the true nuances involved in its coverage of what US spokespersons said over Okinawa. I'm afraid falsification by the US officials is getting worse than before. I just want you to know.

(from theUS Ambassador Roos' speech at Waseda University on Jan. 29, 2010)

—If the Marines were moved entirely off of Japan, their mobility and effectiveness in the region would be impacted, and it could be perceived negatively with regard to the United States' commitment to this region. The next closest ground combat troops available are Army contingents based in Hawaii, and the distance that they would have to travel would delay U.S. responsiveness in regional contingencies.—

Why are the next closest gound combat troops available Army contingents based in Hawaii? US Marines will be closer located in Guam than in Army in Hawaii, and even now there are some in Korea as well to be dispatched globally. And why is the Army contingens, while, it is usually Marines who go first to contingencies, not Army?

According to Satoko again, Roose made it vague and again falsified regarding the compassionate budget paid from our tax treasury to the US forces stationed in Japan, but I won't expand on it. Roos seemed at first to be relatively sincere, but no more.

Another case of falsification is in Oita by the US commandar of military exercises here.

—In support of the U.S.-Japan Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security, Headquarters Battery, 3rd Battalion, 12th Marines, and Echo Battery, 2nd Battalion, 12th Marines will also conduct crew served weapon (CSW) and small arms training, essential for artillerymen and 12th Marines’ ability to maintain operational readiness. —

Why is the training of CSW, which is an air-to-air or air-to-ground automatic weapon placed in a helicopter with the firing capability of 550 to 1,100 bullets per min. essential for artillerymen of FH 70s whose bullet is 150mm?

Actually, the US Marines will be trained here this year, unlike in the former ones, to live-fire various kinds of rifles and automatic weapons, in order to prepare for war with Islam in Indonesia, which a famous woman blogger again wrote last night.


.......If we dag up, there would be more of this kind of falsification, which must be an embedded character of military-related briefings, documents, and mass-media coverage.'
