Yokosuka-20 March 2008. A taxi driver was found murdered. They think it was done by an American. How soon do you think the finger will be pointed at an American Sailor?
My advice? Stock up on liquor for the impending lock-down.
Update: “Going through the base gate this evening, the whole base is in a frenzy. Cars are literally backed up in nearly every direction, and base police are absolutely everywhere. It looked like cars were being randomly selected for inspection, which only made the congestion that much worse. ”
Update to the Update: Our Asahi Shimbun this morning had a big headline that translates as follows:
“Inside the car was the credit card of a missing American serviceman. Japan and US military investigating”.
