At the celebration, the residents of Kunio Aragaki conducted a simple survey using a sticker to measure support for the placement of missiles at long distances on Okinawa. The results show that most visitors reject the plan.
“The budget should be spent on rice, not rockets,” Sinhua said as part of the 80s of the end of the end of the battle in Okinawa.
“As you can see, almost everyone here rejects it. We are completely against an increase in military power in the southeast -spaced region of Japan, ”he said Sinhua.
Aragaki also criticized the increase in the defense budget, which was not considered in favor of the needs of people. “The budget should be used to buy rice, not missiles. The price of rice has recently jumped sharply, ”he said.
Residents who were present at the celebration expressed the importance of learning from history so that past mistakes were not repeated. “We must consider the reasons why this country when the liba fell into the war,” Gushiken said.
He added that historical reflection should not be made from his own point of view, but should also take into account the prospect of other countries. “If we see only from our own points, our understanding of history will always be incomplete,” he said.
“We must not forget about the losses that we caused to others,” Gusheiken concluded.
