US servicemen go around marrying Japanese women, having kids, and abandoning them when shipping back to the US. As as result, close to 50% of these children end up dropping out of school. Many of them turn to criminal activity.<br /><br />Imagine living on base for a few years, enjoying a US education (where they don't teach any Japanese), and all the privileges that go with the territory.
