Fiji soldier urinates on Japanese passenger

Fiji's international carrier Air Pacific says it has apologised to a
young Japanese woman after a Fijian soldier urinated on her, the Fiji
Sun reported yesterday.

It said the soldier was returning from peacekeeping duties in Sinai
when he flew from Japan to Fiji on March 22.

The Sun said the soldier exposed his private parts to a young female
Japanese tourist and urinated on her. Other passengers on the flight
were alerted to the incident when the tourist screamed.

The military say they are investigating but Air Pacific chief
executive officer John Campbell confirmed the incident, saying the
soldier was taken into custody on arrival of the flight at Nadi
airport.

"He is subject to the disciplinary processes of the (army)," he said.

"The customer was provided with cleansing cloths, antiseptic, a change
of clothes from the in-flight duty-free sales materials and together
with her travelling companion, were provided compensation," he said.

The woman has apparently accepted the apology "in a traditional
Japanese manner and attaches no blame to Air Pacific", the Fiji Sun
reported.

I think I speak for us all, when I say ... Fiji has an army?

Yes, they do, but now 25% of it is in custody at Nadi Airport.

You can never be too safe. There is always a possibility that Vanuatu may
decide to attack Fiji with their outrigger navy.

No. You only speak for other smugly ignorant readers.

For the size of the country, Fiji has a most impressive army which earns
a significant percentage of Fiji's export income from its role in UN
peacekeeping around the world. It has certainly been a factor in
Australia's decisions not to intervene directly in any of the several
military coups.

It's hard to believe the amount of ignorance expressed in such a short
sentence - even if you are Australian.

What's funny about "Fiji has an army?"

I think you've confirmed both the smugness and the ignorance.

Surely it would be ok to taunt one of them a bit, so long as
the other one wasn't within earshot at the time.

Yes. He clearly lacks cultural awareness.

Oh...sorry...it's the Fijian Army, not the Australian Public Service.

Oh, well, as long as he didn't get his own pants wet...

Makes one wonder just what 'triggered' the incident?
