The US Military are trying to get a wider coverage of immunity from prosecution for US troops who commit crimes while visiting the Philippines. According to Karen S. Heath, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Manpower and Reserve Affairs, US forces already have limited immunity. The US military want to be able to issue their own Duty Certificates that will enable them to protect their men no matter where or under what circumstances they commit a crime. If the offender is abusing a child in a motel the navy could sign a piece of paper saying the man was on official assignment at the time and was therefore immune from prosecution. What new levels of absurdity and depravity have these officers descended to now?

Philippine officials who are inviting back the US Navy to our ports and are willing to grant all embracing immunity to US troops are already part of that depravity. They are giving away chunks of Philippine sovereignty, dignity and self-respect. No other nation would give up their women and children as prostitutes to foreign troops and a certificate of immunity to boot. The U.S. has no other need for access to 22 Philippine ports other than to get access to the brothels.
