<p>Thank you for the opportunity to review this paper. I tried to match the format to the model, with the differences noted in the comments.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Please accept all changes and then review and revise as the layout will shift.<br /> <br /> Just as background, my father was a Marine and landed in Okinawa in WWII. Was wounded twice, but never said an ill word about the people. Decades later, I visited the main island and saw how big the U.S. bases are and I agree with those who want them removed.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The United States has large bases all over the world, but no country has a base on U.S. soil. That&rsquo;s a topic for another paper.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
