A U.S. Marine has been arrested in connection with the alleged murder of a woman in Okinawa, Japan. The case has reignited anger among Okinawans and across Japan over crimes committed by American military personnel, a long-standing source of tension tied to the heavy U.S. troop presence on the island. Calls are expected for accountability and review of the U.S.-Japan forces agreement.
Why now: The arrest revives deep-seated Japanese resentment over crimes by U.S. military personnel stationed in Okinawa.
