Denny Tamaki, right, hands a letter of protest to Lt. Gen. Eric Smith, U.S. Marine commander in Japan, on Monday. The incident is among the high-profile crimes involving U.S. forces in Okinawa that have angered officials and the community for decades. Japan agreed to spend billions to help relocate troops and family members to Guam, Hawaii and the continental United States, Cancian said. “The Uruma incident is still fresh in our memory and then this incident happens,” Tamaki said. “There will be a lockdown of U.S. troops and a general will express regret,” Cancian said.
