Bottoms Up! and Tom the Tenor,

Nice list of Oscars. I'd like to nominate the gang-rape of a 12 year old Japanese girl, by three US Marines in 1995, at Okinawa. The lads followed their gang-rape by an incompetent attempt to murder their victim to cover their tracks. Unfortunately for them, the 'mostly deadly fighting unit in the world' failed to kill the 60 pound girl.

However, justice was 'seen' to be done: the chaps were sentenced to seven years for their crimes. They'll be back on the streets sometime during 2002.

Relevence to this thread? Please do not think that any of the US Services have a particularly good reputation in China, Hong Kong, Japan or even Korea. Quite the opposite. The Taiwanese are probably warming to them, though.
