Not reserved for Marines. Save the dugong

Beachfront protesters mark year blocking US air base in Okinawa
" We dont want to be part of the act of killing innocent people by allowing Japan to host a US military base that sends soldiers to Iraq ."

"Marine reserves are not reserved for Marines. Save the dugong," read banners on the rigs. "No war. No base."

Okinawa was seized by the United States in a bloody 1945 battle and returned only in 1972, leading to resentment among some residents about being the base for US troops sent to fight in Korea and Vietnam.
