Okinawan Conservative as "collaborators"

在美国占领冲绳期间，美国一直支持冲绳的保守派政治家。美国试图利用冲绳保守派作为“合作者”。另一方面，对于冲绳的保守派政治家来说，成为美国的“合作者”是一个冒险的选择，因为许多冲绳人反对美国对该岛的统治。然而，冲绳人在各种选举中都支持保守政党。对于冲绳的保守派政客来说，成为“合作者”似乎并不是一个错误。

During the U.S. occupation of Okinawa, the United States had supported the conservative politicians of Okinawa. The U.S. tried to use Okinawan conservatives as "collaborators". On the other hand, for the Okinawan conservative politicians, it was a risky choice to be "collaborators" of the U.S., because many Okinawan people resisted U.S. domination of the island. However, Okinawan people sustained the conservative political party in various elections. It seems that to be "collaborators" was not a mistake for Okinawan conservative politicians.
