NAHA—In a rare and significant move, senior officials from the U.S. Marine Corps stationed in Okinawa Prefecture formally apologized to local officials on July 3 for a sexual assault committed by a Marine.
It marks the first official apology from the U.S. military following a series of similar incidents involving U.S. service members that have surfaced since last year.
“We apologize for the anxiety this has caused the people of Okinawa, and our thoughts are with the victim in this case,” said Col. Neil J. Owens of the 3rd Marine Division, addressing Masahito Tamari, an aide to the Okinawa governor.

Apologizing is for cunts. Do something about it.
Case? No it should be CASES. Plural
Apologize and repeat. The cycle continues
This has been going on for decades. Even if “rare and significant”, such apologies are nothing to the locals.
So what next, drop a nuke somewhere and apologize?
We Apologize for recklessly uaing nuclear weaponry to kill 2 billion civilians?
[We’re sorry.](https://youtu.be/8z_riJgT9RY?si=Qy93W5sjnjCJ5eND)
Pretty much thoughts and prayers. Absolutely meaningless when this will inevitably happen again.
“We are sorry you found out and are upset about it.”
This is the aggressive masculinity that Hegseth wants in the U.S. military! Soldier is probably in line for a promotion now.
The other sub stay silent about this XD
Because they don’t want to admit it
While there are foreigner who respect their culture but there’s some of them who can do something like this either
(Again)
Uhmmmm u can’t be sorry and appeal at the same time. That’s not how it works. If ur sorry u accept the punishment.
Of course my first reaction upon seeing the headline was “which one?”
