The US Airforce has 5,300 aircraft. The US Navy "by itself" has nearly 5,000 aircraft also.The US Army has its own aircraft as well.
Come to Atlanta GA.
I hear the bombing and start singing
“I’m seeing shadows on the wall, it don’t bother me at all”
Sorry, I’m an American and a person who like messed up jokes
Also we have the top best air forces in the world, the United States Air Force and the United States Navy are the largest Air Force in the world due to the super carriers. The only people that we wouldn’t want to mess with, is the Russian military.
Everyone who messes with Russia, leave in worse conditions then when they started.
You should react to tsar Bomba and the sr 71 blackbird
To say that the US is friendly with japan is an understatement. Japan and South Korea are crucial allies to the US in that part of the world.
And our citizens are increasingly growing more in love with japan and it's culture, what with video games and anime coming into such popularity
Japan and South Korea are all but family at this point. Think about how quickly the military would mobilize if anything even came close to either country.
And in Hawaii I'd argue that the Japanese influence of stronger than Mexican. (I am Mexican and I live in Hawaii)
We are only allies due to the strategic importance, not that they even provide anything substantial military wise.
@@bedinor you can say that about every alliance
Largest airforce in the world US Air force, Second largest airforce US Navy, Fifth largest airforce US Marines. Kinda nuts to think about.
What's nuts is being on deck when aircraft launch off of carriers.... that's nuts 😳
if you count helicopters the army gets up to 4th
that basically defines "The only one who can beat me is me" like WHAT😳
to bad the marine airforce is gonna be shrinking, atleast according to a recent suggestion for changing marines to be closer to a special forces unit then a general infantry.
That's hilarious it's baffling to think that different branches of our military are first second and fifth largest Air Forces in the world thank God I'm American
We love Japan here in the US. We would come to your rescue if anything should ever happen.
Absolutely!
over here in the US, the hard feelings about WW2 have been long gone for about 50 years, we don't get mad at Japan about it anymore. If I ever join the military, I'd like to be at Japan, or someplace where I don't get too bored.
Nobody can take anime from us!
YES
My daughter is 10 and already knows she wants to at least visit Japan.
Why did Japan go up against US in WW2:
1) Need for raw material.
2) Desire for expansion.
3) Problematic ideology (belief in racial superiority over other groups like the Chinese and Koreans).
4) Justified anger against Russa (blame Tsar Alexander III).
5) Not understanding (or not caring about?) US agreements with France.
6) Overestimating/misapplying US symbolism.
also a big factor is almost no one expected the turn around time for the us war economy to be that fast. It was known it that it had most of the worlds factories, they just didn't expect them to be refitted for war as quickly as they were. that's where the Japanese 6 month war plan came from.
They sank two of our ships we dropped the sun on them twice.
@@deathninja16 They sank a lot more than 2 ships
@@clintlarvenz2570 At the beginning of the war we lost the uss Arizona and the uss Oklahoma, We lost many ships in the battle of the coral sea then had the Yorktown sunk after the battle of midway but after that I think we lost a few ships in letey gulf and then the uss indy was sunk by a Japanese sub.
@@charlesleonard7734 and a lot more ships were sunk at Pearl Harbor, we just managed to refloat and repair most of the battleships over the next 2-3 years.
I was stationed in 横須賀 and let me assure you we are as ready to fight and possibly die for America's freedom as much Japan's freedom. ❤️ There are a few select countries around the world where we feel we have a brotherhood and japan is one.
wow you were there ! 🤙🏻
Much respect. We would fight to protect the nation and citizens of Japan as well!!!!
Japan is a very close ally by default, their economy is so tied to ours at this point that they need us to be good for them to be.
@@dalehammers4425 Since Japan really only has defensive troops, the US somewhat acts as their military.
@@SuperBread512 We act as a lot of countries military, and we need to stop. Its costing us fortunes every year so others can put that money into things we could be.
@Timothy, Yes the US and Japan are allies. Per our agreement at the end of WW2, that is why we always keep a Strike fleet patrolling around Japan, ready to respond at moments notice to any acts from China or North Korea.
Ты хочешь сказать что россия-китай агрессор Северная Корея АГРЕССОР
Absolutely
And don't forget about Russia they warn us about them . They got angry when North Korea threaten Japan in 2020 . So I'm pretty sure Russia gonna be on our side because they hate North Korea. Russia been warning us not to trust North Korea and China . China made agreement if Kim's dies they take North Korea. I'm gonna pray for North Korea people .
@@TheHoneycomb5 holy moly I didn't know about that, that if kim die china will take over north korea omg im not just scared for north koreans but also for south koreans
@@user-gn1lo8vd2m yes, North Korea is an aggressor. The United States, Russia and China all have highly questionable geopolitical, human rights and military actions to their credit. All three have strong economic, military and political influence. I wish all three would exercise extreme military restraint and more diplomatic collaboration. Global conflict would be horrific and another world war would likely amount to billions of casualties versus the tens of millions of World War II. It just seems like the current, somewhat adversarial relationships rooted in political ideology, territorial disputes, religious differences, human rights concerns or economic competition are counterproductive. We may disagree on many things, but there's a high level of respect for most global powers and, I think, plenty of common ground for understanding and peaceful coexistence.
James: "Look at the one at the bottom! You do not want to see that in the sky."
Me: "You won't know it's there until it's too late."
loool 😭☠️
So true. I saw a B-2 at an air show and didn’t know it was there until it was right overhead
You wont know it's there at all if you're a target, you'll just be dead.
@@lb2baseball260 Exactly
@@Stormygyrl1 SAME! I was at an airshow and was like "where is it?!" and then it was almost right over us. It was very cool but very insane.
If Japan had remained allied to Britain (as they were before WW I), and China and Russia had remained allied to Germany (as they were in the 30s), history would have been entirely different. Been to Japan, beautiful people, beautiful country, beautiful culture. Complete tragedy that the US and Japan fought each other. But I am not against anyone, including China and Russia.
It’s the government that is the enemy, not the people.
@@Fergus_0703 well I semi agree with you their. The people are innocent, but the government is made out of innocent people as well who have their own reasons for doing things. It's a tough job to be the rep of a country, and any mistake you make could be the death of everyone
@@Fergus_0703 Hard to separate, given that the people, reluctantly or enthusiastically support said governments. Too bad we can't just sent Interpol to go arrest Hitler etc.
Former soldier here. Yes, you guys are on our side haha. We love Japan over here. I did 6 years in the Army, and fought in Iraq back in 2008. You should see some of the super cool stuff we have on the ground. Not just ICBMs, and planes.
My favorite piece of US military equipment is the A-10 Warthog. I think it's amazing and I'd dig a hole and hide in it if I was on the bad side of that thing, but I'd still die lol.
Lol, yeah. The video games played as kids made great experience for the military toys that I am happy NOT to know everything about.
Thank you for your service.
Interesting fact.. my dad is an aircraft engineer and helped build the very first prototype and the first 6 flight deck models of the B-2. He was required to obtain security clearances and a bunch of background checks. They couldn't talk about what they were working on at the time, but when the project/contract was finished, all of the guys took a group pic around the B-2 and then got a plaque with the pic and then below it was a mirror with the B2 laser engraved into it. All of the guys signed one another's pics and he still has it in his shop to this day. It doesn't sound like much payoff for working on top secret government projects, but it looked great on his resume and he went on to work for companies like Raytheon, Bell, Northrop, and eventually spent 15 years in management MBUSA (Mercedes), and is now in management at VW group of America. So it definitely set him up to be successful and he calls it his "lucky break". The only problem is being his son and trying to live up to his example (he's also always been the muscular/tan guy type too).
He was in the right place at the right time. Being muscular and tan doesn't make you smarter. Live your truth and be happy.
@@kubush damn… I’m actually muscular and tan thought I was special 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The US has a treaty with japan to protect it from any other country. So you're good man. We got your back.
*We are proud to be allies with Japan.* 🎌
I was stationed in Yokosuka on the Kitty Hawk. Japan was one my favorite places I lived, occasionally I miss Japan.
The JDF you guys have is no joke. Technically you guys have one of the most powerful Navies. We always loved it when we had a Kongo or Atago class working with us. Since you guys are defensive you don't have VLS space taken up by Tomahawks. We were counting on you guys being loaded like 80-90% anti-air to out missile an inbound ASM swarm.
Also, if u come to the states and are seriously interested in WW2, you have to go to the WW2 museum in New Orleans. It is probably the best or close to the best in the world. We spent the whole day there. The way it is set up is in a timeline setting. You learn so much and it is so well designed.
15:08 Emperor Hirohito let his power get the better of him, and thought the Bushido military doctrine could best the United States. Plus they got unlucky with the bombing of Pearl Harbor, thinking if they destroyed a major US naval base, the Americans resolve would be withered, when in actuality it had the exact opposite effect
Also keep in mind the US forces at the start of WW2 were quite weak. We wanted to be isolationists and thought that we would probably not be touched, for a little bit anyway. To respond to the threat the US brought together all of our industry leaders and converted our industry to the war behemoth that supplied the allied forces while fighting our own battles in the pacific. Early and Obsolete data was also used to determine the Pearl Harbor attacks, but failure to take out the aircraft carriers and not understanding how quickly we can replace our Navy is what cost the Japanese. The battle of Midway is usually regarded as the turning point where industry has already caught up, 6 months after Pearl Harbor and the US properly entering WW2
The sad thing is, even his own generals realized how bad an idea it was to attack the US. Many people have heard General Yamamoto's famous quote after Pearl Harbor "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve" but few have heard his other quotes that explained his reasoning. Namely, "Anyone who has seen the auto factories in Detroit and the oil fields in Texas knows that Japan lacks the national power for a naval race with America" and "As long as tides of war are in our favor, the United States will never stop fighting. As a consequence, the war will continue for several years, during which materiel will be exhausted, vessels and arms will be damaged, and they can be replaced only with great difficulties." He was educated in the US, and he was well-aware that the response to Pearl Harbor was going to be absolutely brutal, and that the US economic might was going to eclipse Japan's very rapidly in any battle of attrition.
@@thesarcasticliberal exactly he knew we had the resources to repair and/or replace the equipment, weapons and vehicles we lost.
And soldiers? Psh. As long as we have resolve we're determined to bring more volunteers and conscription into the fight.
He knew Japan's resources would run out first and that'd make their situation much worse.
Credit where it's die he did his homework so to speak and knew what he was up against.
Not to mention we also had allies like the Brits on our side in case we needed backup
japan is a wonderful country. enjoyed my time there immensely.
"Would you guys please stop?"
U.S. "No, I don't think i will"
gold
12:38 Of course we're on your side. XD Japan and America are basically brothers at this point. If anything, this video should make you feel much safer, since we'll come to your aid immediately if anything happens.
Also, I'm glad to hear your interest in WW2. I think it's a very important subject to be knowledgeable about. Oversimplified made a pretty good video on it if you want to get started. Great video as always. Love hearing your perspective on these matters.
YES 🇯🇵🇺🇸 Definitely need to check out the WW2 video from over simplified !
@@Choppylovechoppy North Korea under Biden's presidencyhas continued production of nuclear weapons. They signed a treaty under president Trump but we're found to be breaking it fairly recently. There have been leaked videos showing them working and testing said missiles, though they have a while to go before they complete one, at least a decade. Guess that isn't that long
@@sciencetheory tbh Trump' treaty was pretty useless... However, I do agree that Biden's foreign policy is a worse disaster.
@@sciencetheory North Korea's resumed short-range ballistic missile tests in May 2019 according to Nuclear Threat Initiative.
Under trump.
@@Naveen-tq7cg every nation knows Biden is extremely weak and don't respect him. They didn't mess with Trump
You thought the US air force had more aircraft? Well, combine it with the 2nd largest airforce in the world, the US Navy, and maybe it'll have the number you were expecting
the US military has 15,000 ACTIVE aircraft but that is not counting the planes that are retired and packed for storage in "boneyards". Those aircraft include all the f-17s, all the f-14s, tons of B1 bombers, and on and on and on. In a war America could easily roll out another 15,000 fairly modern aircraft out of storage if they need to and they could do it quick like.
Most of USA’s bases in Japan are actually there to guard the route to China, which is why most of them are in the south. However, if anyone ever attacked even the north tip of Japan, the USA would definitely guard Japan with all of its strength. Until the USSR fell the USA was very worried that Russia would attack Japan and was always on guard. I assume they are still on Guard for attack at all times even now when they are the only superpower left.
To summarize the 4 branches of the US military and their primary function (to the best of my understanding, although I'm sure we'll get a veteran to correct me if I am wrong).
Air Force: Air Superiority, controlling the skies and striking from the air.
Army: Ground Combat, controlling land, fighting in ground vehicles or on foot.
Navy: Ocean control, fighting to control or strike from the ocean.
Marines: Front line. They focus on offense, attacking the enemy rather than maintaining control of an area long term.
And the newest one, the Space Force: maintaining control of space and striking from space (I assume.)
Also The Coast Guard is technically a part of the military too but functions more like border patrol for our coastlines.
That’s a little bit generalized I think. At least from what I know as a civilian there’s a lot more crossover than that. Ex. The Marines are sort of part of the Navy, the Navy also has aircraft, and the Navy SEALs are the Navy’s sea, air, and land teams so they’re not just ocean/sea based. The Air Force does some space stuff and intelligence/surveillance stuff.
The marines are pretty much the Navy’s infantry and serves the same purpose as the army but with little differences.
@@melodynoel2446 he’s talking about the primary purpose of each branches so he’s not wrong, but you’re not wrong also.
@@melodynoel2446 the USAF used to have the air force space command, but them Space Force the branch was made so most of the personal under that moved over. Its similar to how after ww2 the Army Air force became its own branch as the USAF.
@Seraph You got the general idea of our setup. Except the marines and the army perform the same function. After D-day when we lost a lot of army soldiers trying to make landfall in that war. We realized at the end we needed another version of the army that will be specialized to do that and hold key shore and land positions until the army can get there. So the marines became a major point and focus of that. The Coast Guard is apart of the US Military their job is to keep all our borders safe and be the last line of defense if an aggressor makes it to the US. They are to give the other branches enough time to regroup and push back. IF they fail in that mission before that happens then it will take the US longer to regroup and then we will be fighting on our own soil. No soldier ever wants that that serve in the US military no matter what branch. That's why we fight as hard as we do for all our allies as well as home. You always keep your home safe.
"There haven't been that many wars since these technologies developed"
Part of me wonders if that's because the wars were ended almost immediately after they started, because of these technologies. Maybe we just never heard about them.
Also don't worry. I live in the US and I'm on Japan's side. Whatever that's worth.
The video "The Fallen of World War II" explains this a bit toward the end after showing how the impact of the war compares to others in the past, as well as other wars since then. Essentially, it's a combination of the threat of nuclear weapons (the concept of "mutually assured destruction," ie "if you nuke me, I will nuke you") and also the efforts of nations to work things out through diplomacy. After WW2, the UN and other international alliances formed for the sake of preserving economic and diplomatic relations and preventing war. And since WW2, the amount of people killed in conflicts has fallen dramatically. Some even refer to it as "The Long Peace," since none of the major world powers have fought wars against one another.
There have indeed been wars since WW2 of course, but just as my guess, I feel that the major reason that they haven't gone further than they have is because as they progress and escalate, more and more attention is called to them. The more the major world powers get involved, the greater the risk becomes that these powers will start to turn their attention toward each other. As that risk increases, so too does the desire for diplomacy, because whatever was previously being fought over can _surely_ be worked out without nuclear states becoming directly aggressive with one another. Sure, there are always other excuses given for why the conflict needs to end, but that's always what hangs over everyone's minds. Nukes are the Sword of Damocles.
@@NetherStray well just asking you lived through the Cold War, I did.There has been many wars since desert storm, in which we used about 72,000 bombs. I was 11 and 12. When that happened. Or the endless war we been going through since. We did have a moment of peace, but it going agian. Not all bombs are nukes. Just like all nukes are not bombs aka nuke your cook or nuke by a mentor can nuke you.
Korean War in 50 (I think), Vietnam in the 60/70s, Cold War in the 80s, Desert Storm in the 90s, and OIF/OEF in the 2000s.
Not to mention the fact that we have contributed to and assisted many other nations in their own civil wars/conflicts around the world, since then.
God bless you brother in Christ 💛
The US military bases are also everywhere.Recenlty US and NATO have in use the biggest military air base in Albania (Kuçova). 🇦🇱🤝🇺🇲Ally.
I am Japanese as well and I used to grow up in Misawa. The town is very special because American Base is stationed there. So influence of America was very strong in Misawa. We even have America day to honor them. I remember seeing American soldiers taking same bus and train as mine. All I can remember was their sheer size of the person. They were tall and looked like a mountain. But they were very nice. Always saying hello and sometimes they wink at me for starring at them so long lol.
4:42 It means that it's nearly impossible for it to show up on radar scopes
And tracking it is like catching a bee with your hand
Your last question is easy to answer. Being a bit of a history buff. Japan had a sizable edge in training & preparedness against the US. It had better equipment (with some exceptions) and it felt backed into a corner by European & US policies & embargos. If it wanted to keep it's militaristic ways (and the military did run the country basically) it would have to go to war. There were many other factors but those are the basics. Sadly Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and others would be caught up in a conflict between the US & China.
What a lot of these videos covering the US military don’t even mention are the vast quantities of war material/equipment and raw resources the us keeps in reserve. The US military can expand rapidly in the case of war with a another industrial power.
I know I'm a month late but one of the reason we have one of the carer strike groups are forword based at Japan is so you guys are safe(As well as our other alliance members) and we still show power in some way.
The main military branches of the U.S. are:
Army - land
Navy - sea
Air force - air
Marines - land/sea/air (department of the Navy)
Lmao get roasted Coast Guard
@@micahchambers5096 lol, my bad. Coast Guard. They did do that bad ass drug bust on that cartel submarine.
@@izmaster1 Don’t worry! Nobody cares about the Coast Guard, only one the rest laugh at more is the Air Force.
How about the new US Space Force?
I’d love to see you react to a video on marines basic training and how hard it is.
Airforce= Air Combat. Navy= Naval Combat. Army= Land Combat. Marines= Small Team Special Military Operatives that do a bit of all three. Coast Guard= Defense Force with jurisdiction of National waters. I understand the confusion.
I've always had a great deal of respect for Japanese culture. Very disciplined and honorable people. I don't know a lot about how we ended up on opposite sides in ww2 but I know it was more about political powers than the people themselves and since ww2 we have been great allies.
Here's some extremely simplified explanations on the branches, note that within each service branch there are extremely versatile formations filling just about every role imaginable:
Army: Soldiers and armored vehicles, they do the majority of the land-based combat/control with boots on the ground attacks.
Navy: Also fairly straightforward, they command the ships overseas such as carrier strike groups and submarines- the backbone of America's force projection.
Air Force: The last of the easier to explain branches, they handle the bulk of America's aircraft as well as land and air-based nuclear weapons.
Moving out of the departments,
Marines: Typically the vanguard putting boots on the ground first to a combat area, they're trained a lot harder than the army and are a lot tougher.
Coast Guard/Army National Guard/Air National Guard: The reserve branch equivalent to the other three branches, technically Coast Guard is the only fully independent branch. They all are the emergency supply of troops for protecting the US itself.
Space Force: Newest branch to the military, they've taken over the space related activities that the Air Force formerly handled (military satellites, etc).
I really appreciated this reaction video! I love seeing other people's perspectives, especially those outside of the United States. It's weird how our two countries were mortal enemies only several decades ago, but now we are closer than ever. This is the difference between the alliances the US builds and the aggressive diplomatic and military pressure China applies to smaller countries. If you get a chance, would you mind reacting to the new Australia UK United States Alliance "AUKUS"? This is considered by many to be the beginnings of a NATO like Alliance in the indo-pacific to protect democracies and international trade and law. This leaves room, in my opinion, for other countries to join in the future, such as Japan, South Korea, the philippines, India, and many others. Binkov's Battleground is a great channel if you like facts and stats. 🇺🇸💙🇯🇵
As an American I can say we love Japan. Now I'm putting my weeb biased aside. Y'all have an amazing culture, history, and your food is amazing. Also thank you for anime.
I've made aerospace parts for, air to air refueling, laser guidance systems, hydraulics, wing structures and others. From the C-130 to the Raptor. Pretty impressive Air force.
It has been estimated that there are 2,308,000 hunters in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Michigan and Idaho combined. The hunters in those five states alone would comprise the largest army in the world. The number of hunters in Texas would be the largest standing army in the world all by itself
What they didn't mention is the US Navy's submarine fleet. There are currently 14 SSNB (Ohio class) submarines deployed, each armed with 24 nuclear missiles with each missile capable of carrying 8 independently targeting 100 kiloton warheads. Add in another 53 fast attack submarines including the Los Angeles and Seawolf class all of which are nuclear capable.
The info is a bit dated as two of the Ford class carriers are already on the sea and the stingray drones are in use. Japan need never worry about the US using severe arms against it ever again. North Korea however, I am seriously concerned about, and Japan would be a staging area for sure.
During Vietnam, my father was stationed in Okinawa (USAF). We moved there when I was six months old, stayed until I was two years old, so the first languages I spoke were both Japanese and English. My stepfather was also stationed in Okinawa, and flew helicopters off the aircraft carrier there (USN). Unfortunately, though, I haven't retained the Japanese I spoke due to lack of practice after we left.
However, in 2019, my daughter and I visited Japan and Okinawa during sakura season. We had the best time! And while we were there, I remembered a few Japanese songs - for instance:
Mushi, mushi ah no ne
Ah no ne
Ah no ne
Mushi, mushi ah no ne
Ah so des ka
The other was about sakura, and I ended up singing it with the cab driver who was driving us around Kyoto.
Sakura sakura
yayoi no sora wa
mi-watasu kagiri
kasumi ka kumo ka
nioi zo izuru
izaya izaya
mini yukan
Thanks so much for the entertaining vlog and stirring up the memories!
Japan and the US are DEFINITELY allies. In fact, Japan is one of our greatest allies. For me personally, I’d say Japan and The UK are our are biggest allies. Also, like you said if the US and China went to war, god forbid that ever happens, that’s just one of the main reasons US has so many basses in Japan, so we can be ready to defend at a moments notice. Lastly, if you’ve never seen the Blue Angels, please react to them. And greetings from the US! 🇯🇵✌️🇺🇸
The Hiroshima/Nagasaki moments had me rolling
Number 6 is that we’re batshit insane
As an American person, I'd like to say that for these reasons, I will also follow, but mostly, for me, I'm very chill, and as for Japan for me, I find it a beautiful country. :D
Aside from the many other comments on WWII...
The US was a sleeping giant.
The attack on Pearl Harbor just woke the country up.
Just on the economic side alone, you now had an entire country provided with not only a common enemy to unify under, but employment and income as well. Huge mistake that backfired hard, and the theoretical takes on involvement had the US not been awakened (and other countries) pose a very different story to the outcome of WWII.
WE LOVE JAPANESE PEOPLE! In fact you could say the number one reason you don't want to be against America is because America is not against anyone, we just want to be safe, and stand up for our friends... We don't hold grudges after a fight is over we make friends, we don't bomb and leave we stop a few people from ruining the lives of many, and then we stay behind to help them build back stronger than they were before. What power hungry tyrant helps and arms other people and does not force them to submit? We are not perfect we just want the world to be better than it was yesterday. I am proud to be born here, I am proud to be best of friends with a country with such an old tradition as Japan and all the old world countries. The question I always ask is: If you think we are only violent and cruel, how many other countries in all of world history, have had even one tenth of this power and abused it so little to oppress its neighbors, What country would you prefer to have all these weapons besides us? Is there a nation besides us you would sleep comfortable at night knowing that nation could end all life on earth?
True friends empower each other to be better, look at how many major conflicts happened and how often they happened before we were forced to become a military nation by getting involved in the world wars to help those who couldn't help themselves vs. how many happened after we got strong. We are made of people from every country, is it really hard to imagine that we would want to help everyone.
One of the things that surprise a lot of people outside the USA is that our citizens are among the nicest on Earth. We genuinely love to help people and see them happy.
Wow! We have WWII drilled into us in school. I mean I'm sure many forget, but we certainly get out through those classes a few times. So hearing your say you haven't studied it as much is surprising. Great video
Timothy, in the beginning of your video you had mentioned that Japan and the United States had a small entanglement in the past. Sadly this is true. However it is in the past. In the opening of the video, you showed remorse for what Japan or the Japanese government did. I would imagine that it is the same remorse I feel when I think of all the civilians who had to pay the price when the United States dropped the atomic bombs on Japan. Trust me we are sorry for that. This truly saddens me, when I think of all the all the civilians whom paid a terrible price. We lost to many lives on both sides, to ever forget the horror's of the war. We should remember it as so neither of our country's make the same mistake again. I am proud that our country's have learned to set-aside our differences and have became more then just good allies. We are friends and good friends at that. I would like to point out to my fellow Americans who may be reading this, that we should also keep in mind how hard it was for the Japanese people and government to except defeat. Most Americans do not fully understand the meaning of "honor" in how it relates to the Japanese culture. I truly believe that Japan would have fought to the death of every last man, woman and child. Thus made the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan a necessity. This brought the war to a quicker end and did in the long run save many lives. BUT it still saddens us Americans when we think of all the civilians whom paid a terrible price. So lets honor all the civilians and military personnel whom where lost on both sides. Lets honor them by making sure our country's stay allies and best f friends.
Amen
I'm Japanese I'm currently serving the the US Army. My dad is Naha Okinawan japan and my step mother is from Nagoya Japan. My parents think I'm crazy but also are proud of me for serving.

Great video. Love it
Thanks
You know the funny irony is that even with our overly volatile history, Americans generally love Japanese culture and people now, at least since we are no longer enemies and have almost Mirrored entertainment and pop culture environments

Him: That's literally a boomerang.
Me (drinking water): damn near spews it every where laughing
Yeah, two of my friends were stationed on Okinawa and we had an exchange student from Naha City. It was a fun experience. I’m American but I’m a quarter English and a quarter Japanese by heritage.
After World War 2, the US military provides Japan with a military. That’s why Japan gets one of our Nimitz-class aircraft carriers stationed in Japan. No other country gets one of our aircraft carriers for their protection. At the end of World War 2, one of the the conditions of the surrender treaty was that Japan can no longer have an army and the US would be the army of Japan. What you call the Japanese army is more like a national guard when’re it assists with natural disasters and deals with threats inside Japan but not outside Japan. That\s the difference.
Very interesting ! Thank you ;)
yeah you do. you have us as an ally including me. i love the Japanese. I'm even attempting to learn hiragana and katakana. I've even memorized a few Japanese songs. yes, it's true i can't understand a word of it but the language is so awesome both written and spoken.
Last batch of F-22s the US bought was in then dollars $127,000,000 each. To buy a new one now would cost billions as they’d have to rebuild the processes and machinery which made it.
That was only about the Navy and Air Force, all five reasons didn't even get into the Army Marines? Coast Guard is generally only in and for home land protection.
All our enemies sit over seas, making it a sea / air war
its funny but when the stealth planes were being dveloped they were responsible for ALOT of the alleged "u.f.o." sightings
12:47 As long as Emperor Naruhito doesn't go power-hungry. JK we have multiple alliances including the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation & Security, Combined Maritime Forces, and some alliances through the UN, such as: the Multinational Force and Observers, Economic & Social Council, and the International Court of Justice.
Think about this. The stealth technology in use today was developed in the late 70's, and early 80's. What do you think they've come up with in the past 40 years?
A "possible" one is the so-called "TR3B"...
Fun fact my grandpa helped design the fist stealth bomber....
I assume you already know but just in case-
Navy | Sea
Army | Land
Marines | Land and Sea
Coast Guard | Sea and saving people at sea
Air Force | Air
5 in total removing the 2 others.
We consider Japan a great partner in the east. For another thought, if a nuclear weapon was to drop near me I want to be right under ground zero.
I was stationed on Okinawa for one year...88-89 while in the USMC.
I loved the intro! I think it's about time we revisit the restrictions on the Japanese military. Given the changes in geo-political power and constant threats from China it just doesn't make sense anymore.
I was stationed in Okinawa for 4 years at Kadena Air Base. Loved it!❤️
I like how everyone gets hung up on how advanced the F-117 looks when it's already been retired from combat
I can see that you will be an entertainer in your future... Your personality is perfect for that. I just discovered you and enjoy your vids.
Thanks !
Swedish submarine Gotland class crushed the entire US naive. They smashed Roland Regan's large airstrip out to sea. It was not once but every time, so we borrowed this submarine to study.
If you wanna go deep into understanding the Japanese in World War 2 look up the podcast series called Hardcore History specifically the ones titled Supernova in the East. God bless you brother and stay free and safe.
The units from Ft Wainwright Alaska would go to Hokkaido and do military exercises with the local JSDF. We went to the beer factory too. It was fantastic
Japan is protected by a U.S. Carrier Strike Group that is forward stationed there.
It was nice that someone in the US finally got North Korea to chill, unfortunately literally anything he did was considered bad
That task force (in Japan) is called Task Force G. it is solely there to protect Japan from the mighty force known as Godzilla. We keep telling the Chinese and North Koreans this but they won't believe us!
And just think this is the stuff they are willing to let people know about. This also does not talk about tanks, or even the sear number of people in the military. It also does not talk about the number of bases we have around the world. Japan might have a lot but that is not all of them.
5300 for the Air Force alone, all 5 branches of the US military have their own air forces
If you would like to see a relatively historically accurate and balanced movie about the ISA v Japan portion of WWII, I would recommend Tora Tora Tora. The US and Japanese segments were filmed separately for a more historically accurate viewpoint and then the two segments were blended together to make one movie. And as a bonus Tim, since you speak English and Japanese, you don't have to suffer through reading the subtitles! Excellent movie in my opinion and I think it gives a reasonably good description of the events leading up to the United States becoming fully involved in WWII.
Thanks for the suggestion I'll make sure to check it out !!
This was a great reaction Tim. I’ve been looking for a Japanese reaction to the ww2 interment camp Manzanar in the us. Please consider doing this. Ty
Great reaction. Knowledge begins with curiosity and learning. After WW2, the US spearheaded Japan's recovery with the Allies. That's why there are so many US bases in Japan. Because Americans have been in Japan for so long, that's why there are so many english words now embedded into the japanese language. I think I heard it's about 20% of the language is now derived from english, that's why we hear some in their songs, entertainment, and every day life.
Japan is supposedly forbidden to create any offensive military establishments. Hence the defense force.
I had discovered that there are alot of things about WW2 isn't taught in japanese schools. As I think it's forbidden to make the royalty look bad. I also think that is a contributing factor why the Japanese culture is so rich and traditional.
A single B2 spirit is considered a “country killer” when North Korea started threatening the US, a few B2s landed in South Korea for training. Idk but that may be one reason NK have been quiet.
I'd assume it helped, but I'm sure we could spare 1 carrier group to reinforce the message
I always thought it was so sad the retaliation we did. But I also believe if somebody messes with you, to carry a big stick so you don’t have to keep proving and fighting.
This video is atleast 6 years old, increase all the numbers and advance some technology.
Why did his eyes get big, look worried when the air craft carrier was mentioned stationed in japan? He knows its there to defend them right? You never know with these young ones anymore.....
Bro the intro had me dying XD
America is untouchable!!❤
The 4 main branches of our US military r The Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines. The coast guard just protects out coastlines from illegal things coming n2 the country. All 4 branches use aircraft. The 5,300 it said was only the air force.
4:39 costs more than a million cuz the fuel
Hey Timothy. I lived in Japan for four years working with Aegis ships for "theater" BMD. That is, BMD, or ballistic-missile defense, focused locally, vs. the US mainland or whatever. "Defended assets" commonly used in practice scenarios were places like Seoul, Busan, Keelung, Taipei, Guam, Okinawa City, Tokyo, Otaru, etc etc. Basically, our whole deal was, as long as we don't get caught with our pants down (meaning by total surprise, thus no one was on station or in range somehow), our job was to track and shoot down any of those wild North Korean missiles (or Chinese, or Russian, or Iranian, or rogue missiles from anywhere if we can help it) that aren't just definitely landing way out to sea.
Anyway, except for a few vowels that have a hint of Australian, your modern RP accent is fantastic. You've clearly put work into making it a definite accent vs just an obvious mix. Very Emma Watson / current-day gen-Z age Oxfordshire. I spent some time in linguistics and that's what I came by to comment on really.
But yeah militarily, in several ways that count, Japan is arguably our closest and most trusted ally. Like, we let you guys share on datalinks in ways we don't with literally any other country. Half of that's trust, the other half is compatibility -- I'm sure if the British Royal Navy fielded a bunch of straight up Aegis ships we'd probably let them in too? Maybe. Anyway for many reasons, Japan is very special to us. Culturally, strategically, militarily.
Sidebar: And because we wouldn't sell you F-22s, "only" F-35s (regulation thing baked in during '22's funding, that changing would have caused other problems), y'all have probably the 6th-gen fighter program nearest to readiness. This could be important. Having *everyone* flying F-35s sharing data is great for a lot of reasons but I'd rather not present a literal single point of attack for someone looking for flaws to exploit, however briefly. Y'all's design looks outstanding and I can't wait to see what a ground-up Japanese-engineered fighter looks and flies like.
My friend is a nuclear engineer in the US Navy. He assured me our CWS "classified weapon systems" far exceed all publicly known technologies. He has described things that sound, well you said it "star wars". He also stated that their motto in his field is "We build them so that we never have to use them." which is a bit ominous. Some of the drones known today are very scary, but nothing in regards to what is in the works, or what is actually deployed. I wish we lived in a world where none of these things were necessary, I hope we never come to a conflict where the world has to see what the US actually has to offer in terms of might. It's a scary thought. Just imagine this, the US spends around 500 to 800 billion dollars per year just on its military. The closest spender to that would be China, at around 130 billion. That's per year. (Those numbers are from 2014) Last year (2020) the US spent 778 Billion on the defense budget. It's scary the amount of money being put into it.
So in other words...what we have public looks like child's play compared to the stuff we have that's classified?
That's absolutely terrifying
I learned that the US also is the only country in the world with the current capability to send navy boats and air force planes across the entire world. As there the only place that has stations around the entire world.
I always remembered the branches as such.
Air Force: pretty self explanatory.
Navy: ships, sea.
Marines: all terrain soldiers
Army: like the pawns in chess of the military, but I heard they get all the cool toys ahead and over the marines, but don’t quote me on that.
*pawns, and I would expect that the army does get the new tech first. From what I've gathered, the army is much more structured and precise than the marines, who I think are more troops of soldiers who are just fearless fighters
@@robjohnsonmusicandgaming didn’t even realize that typo lmao.
The 3rd B that was dropped is called: Plaza Accord.
Yes Japan and the US are allies. One day I want to visit, I just retired from the Army and my first 6 years I was a Rakkasan ⛩️so it is a special place for me.
3:18 Remember, that section of the video is just talking about the Air Force. The 15000+ planes figure was for all branches of the military combined.
My husband has passed away but he was a he was a Flying Tiger pilot. So had been his dad they were the first father-and-son team to fly together!! There's a lot of funny stories around them my husband first trip to Japan first of all when you get off the plane you have your brain bag I guess what they call it where your maps and everything predict briefcase and you've got your suitcase well somehow they get off the plane and they're at the motel before they get there don't know how you guys do it. Anyway when he get to the hotel there's everything is there. And when they get to the rooms everything's there very efficient people I'm glad we call you or sister country. Checking in and everything and he just said he's going to check out your traveling system call of the train or or what but anyway he's on the platform looking at the signs trying to figure out where what goes where his first trip to Japan doesn't know anyting really. So while he's looking he didn't look behind them and there was a lady and she's looking and she doesn't see him behind her and they crashed back to back so of course she turns around and bowed so my husband bowed back then she bowed again,so he bowed this went on until she was out of sight. He didn't know that she's supposed to have the last bow!!! I can just hear the story when she got home and she told me I'm sure crazy American!!! And being you are Japanese I think you probably can appreciate the story more than most people so thank you enjoy your post.
do not worry
The US not only have the best trade relations with Japan but also the largest military Alliance with Japan
80,000 US soldiers are stationed. And from US friends I have heard that the US Japan likes to have.
2. Do not worry US and UK (England) also have a rich agreement as an ally
and we Germans with you all three xD
🇺🇸 ♥ ️🇯🇵
This is a British video. The narrator is British and refers to the British Air Force as "The Royal Air Force."
