If your observation of "awesome SDF deployment" is based on the experience in Samwawah, I guess the same implementation here involves the peacekeepers put under the protection of foreign soldiers. Then by all means, bring in whatever willing foreign military to protect our troops so that Japan may once again display its sheer awesomeness!

You know, if they keep doing this they are eventually going to have to fight somebody...

Japan does not send people, the JT public complains.

The SDF is not allowed to fight, the JT public complains.

The SDF is allowed to fight, the JT public cries war crimes!

"Yah, and I remember the stories about the huge amounts of rice and ramen that was constantly shipped to them in Iraq."

Yeah, and I remember the forces of other countries living mainly on lies.

Sarcasm, that is the post of the year. Indeed darned if the SDF/Japan does good/deploy, darned if they don't.

This is as good a time as any to crack open some cases of plastic guns and evaluate their effectiveness in the field. A good time to see how operational procedures can be improved on. GSDF needs to be "aired out".
