The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is an Equal Opportunity Defense Force.
We encourage diversity and will not discriminate against qualified individuals base on their sex, race, color, ethnic background and sexaul orientation(s).
Granted, my buddy's appraisal of the JMSDF is "Junior Varsity at best". They have the equipment but not the training to handle "multi-faceted, real-time scenarios" in operations with more than 2 ships.
He also made another point: "like that video clip" the "JMSDF [tend] to choreograph their DTEs and training regimens to absolute predictability, which [to the US Military] defeats the purpose of training for a fluid-chaotic environment where you have to think on your feet".
That said, he's been stationed in Sasebo Japan and also told me that as dopey as this commercial looked, it's actually amenable to Japanese sensibilities. Strange as it sounds to Americans like me, their cultural context looks favorably on this kind commercial (which is why it was made this way).
Um. OK. I have respect for any military that's not trying to kill me but that just made "In the Navy" by Village People look like it was done by red-blooded 100% straight heterosexuals.
Japan is one of our most trusted, loyal and competent allies in the Pacific and around the world. Japan is currently aiding in the development of many of our military systems including missile defense. Japan provides untold contributions of technology, resources and support for the US around the world. I am proud to call Japan and the Japanese people a friend of America and we should feel honored that such a noble and proud people call us friends in return.
I hope you understand how you make yourself look moronic by writing these comments. Just because Internet users are in a way anomyous, doesnt mean that they have to act like idiots.
the navy is supposed to be about kicking ass. that video doesn't get you hyped to kick ass. anyone who joins cause they saw that video will be a poor asset cause they'll wanna dance during war instead of kick ass.
JSDF reputation and standing as an institution is very low in Japanese society. Consequently the JSDF is seen as 50 billion dollar welfare institution to create and maintain factory jobs to manufacture extremely overpriced weapons and also an outlet for troubled teens. Yamamoto would cry.
Ha, I love Japanese humor. If they made this purposely for Americans, then it gets more points. It exposes their arrogance, homophobia, and their gullibility.
Anderson Coopers most favorite commercial. IN THE WORLD.

日本在第二次世界大戰後遭到美帝禁止組織軍隊,日本組織自慰隊作保護國家之用。美帝禁止日本存有軍事武器,故自慰隊的武器只可以用日本特產的性玩具作武器,成立早期更只有隊員自慰射出的洨攻擊。
iam980 4 years ago
因為自慰隊的名聲和它的洨攻擊,各國軍隊不斷仿傚,在戰場開始設軍妓,保持軍人扳機使用靈活。
洨攻擊的技術已經在中國解放軍《怎樣打飛機》一書中有詳盡記載打的方法。
到後來經濟發展,自慰隊已經開始外購軍備,計有過期春藥飛彈、歌聲毒電波擴音器等。

Maybe they are seriously doing this because many Japanese became thinking any kind of military activities are bad thing after Pacific War.
But I think already ended the postwar era so MOD should produce a battleship or aircraft carriers like a Yamato or Kitty Hawk again.
By doing it, I think JMSDF will be able to more easyly get young ppl.
But I know it's impossible because need of those ships might become an diplomatic issue between neighbors and Japan.
