At this point I believe most Okinawa separatists mostly have an issue with the US military.

Sounds about right

Okinawa comprises only 0.6% of all Japanese territory, yet 75% of all United States military forces are stationed in U.S. facilities that take up 10.4% of Okinawa Prefecture i.e. 18.8-20% of Okinawa Island.
