lmfao @ Joe: I really think it is about time they re-examine things on that note, also. I mean, on the one hand.. they DO prove to the world that you can be a woefully underarmed nation in the midst and bombing range of half a dozen countries who hate you.. and still be relatively safe.
At the same time, it's kind of a national indignity that's gone on long enough.
From what I can see, the SDF has to start taking itself seriously if ti expects the Japanese perspective boys and girls too. Enough with the cartoons and songs and dance. Make with the parades, or annual arms displays or something. Every other country does it ..and that's how they maintain young enthusiasm in enlisting.
For every country that whines about it, screw them. All of them are guilty of the same or worse type of things to someone else at some point and it doesn't matter if it was 200 years ago.. it counts if somethin 50 years ago does :D.
Personally, if I were one of those Tokyo string bean boys, I'd join up just for the excercise and the ability to shoot things, not have much of a chance at getting killed and be able to help in one of my country's all too frequent natural disaster related emergencies.
To me its all the better than I don't have to be a weapon of policy, like most soldiers are today.

IMHO, Africa (many localities therein) needs a swift kick in the ass. Colonial interests need a swift kick out, and it's people need to be orchestrated into the funded rebuilding of their own nations. They can do it if the fighting is stomped down on by considerably more powerful outside force and if the leaders are pretty much bypassed. What you have is a continent full of multiple-victims of all this and what needs to happen is that A: The free world takes Africa seriously and drops the boom on the forces within causing problem. In a world where the best countries like to play world police, it doesn't make any sense that there is even one crevice of earth where one group of thugs can chase villiages of people around with guns terrorizing them, largely unopposed. Why? Because no one seems to give enough of a damn about real suffering and real people being oppressed and real terrorism happening clear and presently unless by some chance there's profit to be had.
