Plaintiffs Unite to Fight U.S. Jet Noise in Japan, Okinawa
Plaintiffs in litigation over military aircraft noise in mainland Japan and Okinawa agreed Saturday to unite in their fight for quieter skies.
For the first time in the more than 30-year history of such noise lawsuits in Japan, plaintiffs representing several groups seeking compensation and bans on early morning and late-night military flights gathered near Naval Air Facility Atsugi.
Was it too difficult for Stars and Stripes to add “mainland” in to the title? Sure, it lengthens the title but is a hell of a lot more clear!
At first glance, without reading the article, one has to wonder if the author believes Japan and Okinawa to be completely separate countries. Only after reading the article does the reader find out the author meant mainland Japan and Okinawa.
Maybe I am being a little too critical?
