Japanese woman killed by American marine.

A military is in the misery, destruction, and death business.

A military, unless it rebels, is in the business of enforcing whatever the particular government wants it to. That can be good or bad, and most of the times any shade of grey.

This is an isolated incident. But it points to a general perception of US military abroad. They're above the law of the land. The US hasn't signed up for the international court of justice and soldiers, very much like catholic priests, are shipped out at the earliest convenience when some shit happens. You can expect the soldiers to know as much, and, if inclined to not give a shit, to act accordingly.
