Protests as US ship docks in Nagasaki

I have to say, as a guy that was over in Japan for at least 7 years, this is a load of BS.

Japan's military is basically the US military which is helping them by protecting them from the long range missiles of N. Korea. They have no military (Self Defense force, which doesn't have anywhere NEAR the spy planes of the US) and quite frankly, they would protest anything.

To sit here and put it in perspective, near bases within Japan the closer you are to a base which has military planes, the more you get paid. That's to appease for the noise pollution of said planes. And yet, people STILL b---h about the fact that they have to listen to the noise. Ok, if you don't want the money, move. What is complaining about military personnel, when they're major sources of income for the poorer parts of Japan (anything not Tokyo or Osaka) and the visits have happened more than once?
