I mean, it is kinda remarkable that people did volunteer to fly what were essentially human-guided bombs. Not even for a religion at that, but for what was basically a last-ditch delaying action in the Pacific theater. They knew they were fucked- their infrastructure was gone, their ace pilots all dead, carriers all sunk. They did it just to slow down the Americans, just by a little longer. Anyways what is the song source on this? It's not actually in this scene of the anime. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)20:11:46 No.3125492 >>3125491 Many of the were not volunteers. I've read about the kamikazi and a lot of them were fucking terrified kids some no older than 15 or 16. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)20:21:56 No.3125496 >>3125488 yes they are, Lot of japanese think they literally did nothing wrong during the war. Even the recent previous mayor of Tokyo is a famous war crime denier of stuff like the rape of nanking. Some of their top government officials even now describe japan as a victim of ww2 and after the recent elections it's a real possibility of the return to state Shintoism(emperor worship) and a independent military. >>3125492 they were volunteers from the books I've read on it they had so many volunteers that they did not have enough planes, near the end their were cases of large kamikaze squadrines consisting of dozens of planes getting absolutely rekt by late war allied planes racking up massive kill ratios since almost all the jap pilots were brand new kids or old men at that point. It's not surprising considering how fanatical they were near the end of the war and what they got fed about Americans wanting to kill them all family included. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)20:23:06 No.3125498 >>3125492 Yeah I guess "volunteer" is the wrong word, but it's not like they were necessarily held at gunpoint to go fly the things. They were convinced by people (who conveniently didn't have to get in one themselves) that their deaths would bring honor to their families & the emperor and whatnot. Some people did really drink that kool-aid pretty hard. /Also I found the song sauce myself, it's the MuvLuv Alternative OP for anyone interested. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)20:31:08 No.3125504 >>3125496 >Lot of japanese think they literally did nothing wrong during the war. After reading a book on their war crimes I'm not buying it. Reading about some of the shit literally made me nauseous. Like anally raping captured allied soldiers with swords and setting women on fire, absolute inhuman shit. The only reason I give the average citizen a pass is because their government was basically taken over in the years leading up to the war by fanatics who believed the Japanese were the chosen people, and believe that once the war had started they would win because of their divine nature and never have to answer for any war crimes because they would be the victors. Anyone at any level in the government who was like "hey man that shit's not cool" was either ostracized or outright driven out of office or killed. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)20:42:10 No.3125511 >>3125504 They have government officials like ishihara saying the rape of nanking is a chinese created lie. Look into unit 731 if you want to learn about the pinnacle of modern war crimes, they were korean based and they committed extreme experiments on prisoners like replacing blood with saline solution, I hear they got of scot free since some of the shit they did advanced medical research massively and they turned it over. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)22:14:22 No.3125563 >>3125496 they're trying to establish a military again for the offensive if need be but the UN wont allow it as per the signed treaty at the end of world war 2. the only thing they can invest in is defense. talk about fucked to a point of moe. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)22:18:12 No.3125568 >>3125563 >UN All they really need to do is repeal a certain part of their law given to them by the US, The UN is mostly a irrelevant organization with no real influence or power.

That's why their current military organization is called the JSDF (Japanese Self Defense Force). The current rightwing government, led by Shinzo Abe as the PM, is pushing for a more nationalistic strain of government that includes a revocation of Article 9, which is the bit that commits the nation to a self-defense force only with no offensive capabilities. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)22:44:30 No.3125577 >>3125563 The Reason that they have military restrictions is because the US wrote them into the Japanese constitution. However now the US wants them to fight China and is trying to get them to change their constitution and build a bigger army. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)22:50:11 No.3125584 >>3125576 Samefag. So it's not necessarily the UN. To maintain an "offensive" military they would have to repeal that part of the constitution, which is difficult because while the rightwing party is currently in power, they do not have the overwhelming majority needed to ratify that kind of change (I think--don't quote me on that). Plus, there's a lot of opposition to it from more doveish sectors of politics and of society, notably the Democratic Party of Japan. >>3125496 Feh, why do people fight and die for their country? Seriously--not trying to sound nihilistic here, but that strain of nationalism and pride isn't really that different from what other countries have, although it's possibly made a bit worse because of the type and culture of society Japan has (read: somewhat less receptive to criticism of authority). >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)22:55:14 No.3125585 >>3125577 As for current geopolitics, I think that's an overstatement. There are *certain bombastic, almost billionaire elements* of US politics that want America to withdraw from their current position of strength in Asia and have the local countries, Japan, SK, Taiwan, shoulder more of the burden of defense. Leaving alone the fact that this will drastically weaken our influence abroad, it also destabilizes the region because it means Japan, as well as SK and others, are more heavily armed and (as history has proven) more likely to engage in conflict with each other as well as with China. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)23:02:06 No.3125592 You see, this is why you give a one liner AFTER you shoot the other guy. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)23:12:39 No.3125597 >>3125584 >why do people fight and die for their country? The entire concept of kamikaze is something that you would only really ever get from a place with a culture like japan's, The extreme emphasis on honor and duty in their culture is pretty alien to the other cultures, these people still commit suicide even today to try to preserve honor. If you sincerely believed that by yourself you could save your other countrymen by giving yourself up wouldn't you? The idea of being able to trade yourself for hundreds of the enemy is very appealing even if in practice it was not that effective since the US had overwhelming air power, I guess you could say manpower wise it was a success but not a game changer in any real sense. >>3125585 The US really needs to maintain a military presence considering china is already trying to bully their way into taking over islands and sea zones, Having real support from the locals would put much less strain on the US. The suggestion that SK, Taiwan, or Japan would ever fight each other is ludicrous considering they all depend on the US for protection and all have two distinct common enemies in NK and China while sharing democratic governments which there enemies lack. What would be more ideal is to have a NATO like alliance along with having actual militaries to support each other. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)23:22:35 No.3125608 >>3125597 No, I agree with you. But I don't think that arming each of the countries is a solution; not to reduce complex geopolitics to platitudes, but when all you've got is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. As for fighting each other, I don't think the concept is too far off. Historically, none of these nations really get along with each other. I don't think they'd go all out into war, but skirmishes and minor destabilizing conflicts are likely and they will add up over time. US withdrawal from the region means that in the best case, those countries will form alliances with each other, but WWI has proven what happens when you've got a spiderweb's worth of alliances in a volatile region. The interesting thing about China's actions is that it's having the effect of uniting American allies in the region against it. Ironically, I suspect the real reason why China is saber rattling is because it wants to distract its domestic population from economic gloom and widespread social issues (gender imbalance, rich and poor, corruption, lack of human rights). The specter of a "US threat" helps rally people to nationalism, but the side effect is pissing off a bunch of China's neighbors and creating a new international headache. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)23:29:09 No.3125613 >>3125597 I have to disagree on US world policing. If it strengthens our position on the planet, then do it, 110 percent. If it weakens our position, don't do it. Should be simple as that. As it stands, we have this insane puritanical view that it is the USA's duty to single-handedly uplift the entire planet. I don't know where it comes from, but it's neurotic, and it needs to end yesterday. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)23:30:16 No.3125615 >>3125491 this is reddit formatting. you dont need that many line breaks >>3125496 this is 4chan formatting. they are not abusing the enter key >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)23:33:17 No.3125618 >>3125615 Are you a fucking autist?

You're not looking at the long game here. A war would be bad for everyone, including the US, considering we rely so heavily on Asia for the bulk of our manufacturing. Stability there means stability at home. It's like paying taxes: you don't see the immediate benefit very clearly, but it's definitely there. >>inb4 nihilistic oh I don't pay taxes, no benefit, muh freedums. Anyways, we had the same thinking at the outbreak of World War 2: oh it's not our problem, why should we get involved? America First. America is great. They wanna fight, it's not gonna impact us. We've got OCEANS. And if we withdraw from the world because, hey, we don't see any immediate benefit, then guess who's in a prime position to fill the void? A country like China or Russia. That's something I don't think *certain billionaire loving parts of the US* don't understand; you're destroying America's place in the world by reneging on NATO and withdrawing from Asia. And all for what? An immediate short-term savings? >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)23:40:44 No.3125624 >>3125608 >widespread social issues (gender imbalance, rich and poor, corruption, lack of human rights). The thing with the Chinese is they don't give much of a shit about any of those for the most part, as long as they are fed your fine. China has historically always had a massive lower class and most of them lack real concepts of western ideals. China tends to run on a cycle of long lasting peace then having a internal power struggle then another era of peace. >But I don't think that arming each of the countries is a solution This is were we differ, I would advocate for giving japan nuclear weapons as I heavily believe in the MAD doctrine keeping things stable and being responsible the the complete lack of any wars between global powers since ww2. Well at least to countries that are not extremists such as Iran or Israel which both can't be trusted. Iran for being run by fundamentalists and Israel for the war crimes they keep committing. >>3125613 keeping asia stable is in US interest considering our heavy trade ties. US world police works when your not bombing civies in the ME all to protect "muh sacred clay". They should really just make Jerusalem and the surrounding area a jointly administered non-country just to stop all the fucking conflict that shitty nation keeps drumming up. >>3125615 >>3125618 no one cares about format, no one here is writing a fucking school paper. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)23:47:41 No.3125627 >>3125623 We shouldn't have gotten involved in WW2. Let Stalin fight Hitler, and Hitler fight Stalin, we wait for the aftermath. Should have stayed totally neutral, and grabbed pieces up in other places. As for this Asian reliance, that's an insane policy. You are relying on something outside of you you have no control over. That's not good. That's never good. It's why working people are so stressed all the time. They rely on that paycheck. Compare it to financially independent people who are far more relaxed. When we're in a position where we need somebody other than ourselves, when we're one of the biggest countries on earth in terms of land mass and population, we really need to take a step back and look at what's wrong with this picture, especially considering our self reliance for decades prior to the whole free trade fascination. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)23:52:04 No.3125631 >>3125624 I want to counter that point about MAD. Remember MAD rests on some basic principles: 1. each country wants to survive. 2. each country has things to lose. 3. neither country wants to back down. What if you have a country where those don't apply? North Korea is a country that really has nothing to lose. If SK were to try and arm itself with offensive capabilities, North Korea would just start bombing because it knows it'd be in a game it can't win. MAD is economically unfeasible over the long term. It's the classic prisoner's game: as soon as you realize it's the final two rounds, everyone tries to undercut the other. And honestly, if MAD really worked, then here in the US everyone would have guns and there would be no crime. It's the same principle in microcosm. We're currently not in MAD because we are not directly or overtly threatened by Russia. Remember the Cuban Missle Crisis? That was an example of MAD because both of us had guns to each other's temples. In this case, while there's the lingering threat, nobody's willing to escalate and push to the Nash equilibrium needed for a MAD scenario. >>3125624 Dude, for someone that doesn't care about formatting, you're really butthurt about it. Get over yourself, learn to write normally, and focus on the topic at hand. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)23:58:50 No.3125636 >>3125627 I'm gonna build on my original idea. What we could have done is invaded South America. Let Europe work Europe out, and totally colonize the crap out of that whole land mass. Can you imagine what a huge player that would have made us? Unstoppable. They couldn't fight back, they had zero military potential. Nobody could have stopped us, they were all busy fighting eachother. At the end of it, we would have absolutely no enemies whatsoever in the eastern hemisphere connected to us by land. They would have to cross the waters to get at us, and that takes a lot of preparation, well enough time for us to see it coming. Dangit. >> [_] Anonymous 08/01/16(Mon)23:59:49 No.3125637 >>3125627 >>We shouldn't have gotten involved in WW2. Let Stalin fight Hitler, and Hitler fight Stalin, we |
