I googled it but didn't find an answer immediately, but I just didn't care enough to dig deeper.

Anyway, today is/was the 4th of July, but all American military bases have cancelled their fireworks and public celebrations because some asshole soldier decided to go and rape a woman in Okinawa a month ago. The Japanese are plenty pissed off, so going ahead with festivities celebrating a country of rapists would be bad form right about now. Wait, what?

So, to celebrate the way I do every year, I forced my university students to sing "Happy Birthday, America".
