Okinawa governor says U.S. military 'crazy, 'out of control'

The governor of Okinawa criticized the U.S. military on Wednesday after Marine Corps helicopters made a third emergency landing in the prefecture this month.

"The U.S. military is out of control," Okinawa Gov. Takeshi Onaga said, the Japan Times reported. "They can't exercise any oversight, there are no signs they will reform and the Japanese government can't handle them."

"Indeed, the whole U.S. military is going crazy," Onaga added.

According to Japan Today, Onaga's use of the word "crazy" was a reference to Lt. Gen Lawrence Nicholson, the top U.S. commander in Okinawa, who reportedly told Japanese officials that the second emergency helicopter landing was a "crazy" situation.
