Topic: Japan to pay 60% of costs of moving US troops to Guam

I think that the USA should've stayed on the Island. But that's because the USA payed for that Island in Blood. Just like the island of Iwo Jima, which is once again a Japanese military base.

Somethings shouldn't change, we fought for that island and we should stay on it.

I have nothing against the Japanese today, but the idea that the island that thousands of GIs and Marines fought and died for to capture to be given back. It just shakes my core because I feel that the memories of those Soldiers and Marines are now worth a little less. By having our troops stationed there, they are reminded of the heroism of the Soldiers and Marines that took that Island.
