#2 Yamamoto is turning over in his grave shifting uncomfortably under rusty chunks of metal in the jungle.

#3 Remember when we used to REALLY kick an enemy nation's ass? To the point where they still can't rebuild their military almost 60 years later?

Ahhh, the good ol' days.

#4 Once upon a time, these guys were better suicide fanatics than the arabs could ever hope to be. Just a note on how effective a couple of nukes can be to permanently change national inclinations. LOL

#10 our Army of One ad campaign was way better

I like that one too. The current AF "We're waiting for you" is only fair. We spent all our budget on the previous one, which was quickly and quietly dropped after 9-11. It had the rather unfortunate slogan, "The United States Air Force, No One Comes Close".

#11 I just visited Yasukuni Shrine last week, you can see my snapshots here. Sorry about the lack of captions, it's lousy picture showing software, you'll just have to guess what is what.

#12 Do not underestimate the japanese navy. Yeah, compared to the US they stink but I'd put money on them to take out their entire neighborhood without breaking a sweat if they had to, pathetic video or not.

Considering their reputation for pederasty and yaoi mangas, I can guess =P

#15 The ghosts on the YAMATO writhe in their watery graves...

#16 My, don't they look light in their loafers...and get a load of the Ministerette of Defense at the end. You know the Norks are thinkin' "We suck if we can't take these creme puffs."

#17 They are Japan's Navy, the Japaneese navy, they'll fight like wolverines if necessary. Are there any fun German Army recruiting videos?

#18 You know the Norks are thinkin' "We suck if we can't take these creme puffs."
