You’re quite convincing, but I don’t got the need. Also I emailed you fanmail to the email listed on your channel
@@iVirtuallbruh
i am going to bump you up a few points, you were a little low on my rankings after all the joe rogan diss and your radical left views.
Love the video, I remember when I first joined the U.S military and I was confused as well as, but they weren’t that nice to me 😂 hope you enjoyed it
25:21 - "If war breaks out, the first ones to die will not be the politicians who decided to go to war."
Never slipped to politicians brain, not even once
@@zapz It did.
It's a stupid argument, as much as i hate war.
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares about more than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
"Better to fight for something than live for nothing."
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
ps. "Alas, the time of the most despicable man is coming, he that is no longer able to despise himself. Behold, I show you the last man.
“What is love? What is creation? What is longing? What is a star?” the last man asks, and he blinks...."
That's the truth there
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

"since WWII" was said... Context is important.
Such an incredible episode man on an increasingly concerning topic. At times living in Japan makes you feel a million miles away from many of the issues in the world today, almost like a bubble. Then you remember, the country is right on the doorstep of several potential massive, unthinkable conflicts and this kind of preparation is essential, if merely only as deterrence. Let's hope a sequel: "I Fought with the Japanese Army" is an episode that need not ever materialise. Keep up the great work mate, this was a brilliant piece of journalism.
Japan is situated between China, N. Korea, Russia and USA. I don't understand how Japanese people aren't worried
Good to see Chris dropping in on here as well!

The world is so funny!
In World War II, the Japanese invaded China and Asia, killing countless China people and Asians!
Two American atomic bombs forced the Japanese emperor to surrender, and Japan became a colony of the United States!
After World War II, the United States launched dozens of wars of aggression in decades, and now it is waging war again with puppet countries like Japan. What a group of militants!

@@user-ho6fd3eu8cI agree as an American I stand by your people and country. China won't stop till they get what they want or we stop them together.
I am a resident of Okinawa. Most Okinawans are not aware of the fact that Okinawa is an important area that is targeted even without the bases. I think this is what complicates the base issue.
With all respect how is this possible after what happened on the island in ww2? Surely the people living there must realise the US didnt invade the island just for shits n giggles right?
@@justarandompally He probably meant that they felt that the base being constructed would make them an even more obvious target than they already are. That is why the lady who was interviewed in the video said, “It’s not good, but it’s necessary,” because even though they are now protected from the threat that they feel quite certain existed before, the base construction made that threat even more certain.
Do you even speak the Okinawan language?

I’m not meant for war. I could have told you that before you did this. 😂
Nah more like : Call of Harris Weeaboo Warfare
When WWII ended, it wasn't like turning off a light switch - horror to good neighbors - I was born in the middle of 1951, and throughout my preteens war was a real presence in our lives. My father's confusion at meeting ex soldiers from the " other side " that " seems like a good guy," my older sister's real fear of nuclear attack, hundreds of war movies, the Korean War didn't help, so many things to try to figure out. Seeing a collection of photographs from concentration camps in my early teens was transformative. And war never stops. The human race doesn't deserve this incredible world we are born on. The USA and so many other nations seem willing to let psychopaths have incredible power while the world burns around them. Even chimpanzees in the wild are learning how to make rudimentary weapons and wage war on neighboring groups.
I swore to never pay for skins, but I may make an exception for this.
しっかりと取材して日本の現状を伝えてもらいありがとうございます。

けれど人間は仮説じゃ納得できないんですよね、愚かー
10年前ですが西表島、石垣島を旅して山と海の美しさにとても感動したものです。基地が作られてたのは今回の動画で始めてしりました。
基地ができたことによる島民の皆さんは不安もあるでしょうね。でも無防備ではロシアウクライナの状況、中国の状況鑑みると危険すぎますよね。中国とか自国でやってること以上に平気で何もかも壊しそうです。

How necessary is it really? Do you count how many US military bases surround China? How many surrounds yours? This is like the bullies accusing others for being aggressive.
@@catsNcodeIt's about the fact that the Chinese are ramping up their military and could threaten the US or their allies, especially Japan and South Korea. You have to think about how the Chinese are so strong, if Japan didn't have those bases, they would be more vulnerable to attack. And for the "bullying" part, the Chinese are attempting to push the south east Asian countries out of the South China sea, so id consider them more of a bully, and those US bases being justified.
@@catsNcode Only if China isn't aggressive, those bases just exist. Only if. Friendship, please?
Japan is arming itself like never before, oh boyyyyy
基地がなくても侵攻時港や空港は攻撃されます、何故なら土地を奪うのと同様にその地の住民を根こそぎ手に入れることは彼らにとって大きな利益に成るからです。
Exactly China will stop at nothing once it starts. It's better to be prepared than not at all.

初手政治家(政府)が死ぬなら相手は交渉する気がないってことだろうし。
政治家じゃなくて軍人が死ぬってことは文民統治が機能してるとも取れる気がした。
個人的には本当に戦争になったら、ある程度の年齢の人は強制的に徴兵されて民間人であっても自衛隊員になるのだからこの場合の隊員が死ぬってのはつい昨日まで民間人もだった人も含まれるって解釈した(語彙力)
在二战的时候你们国内的民众也自诩是正义的一方,事实上军国主义从来没在你们政府的内心中抹去,你们不是因为侵略别人而感到遗憾抱歉,而是因为自己战败了而遗憾抱歉。
日本が攻撃されれば否応なしに参戦することになるかもしれないけど、問題は台湾が侵攻された場合だよね。他国の戦争には関わりたくないと静観するのか、台湾を助けるために日本人の血を流すのか。参戦すれば日本本土も攻撃対象になって民間人も死ぬだろうけどそれでもいいのか。世論は大きく分かれるんじゃないかな。まあアメリカが参戦すれば日本もせざるを得ないかもしれないが。参戦自体はどう考えても違憲だけど、憲法改正せずに「解釈」で乗り切っちゃうのがこの国😅

日本ではアメリカのように軍隊を誇らしく思うという人は多くいません(私は誇らしいと思いますが)。なぜなら日本では軍隊は先の大戦の原因を作った元凶として小学生の頃から教育させられるからです。ただし多くの日本人は自衛隊が日本にとって必要であることを正しく理解できています。有事の際や災害が発生した際に必ず助けてくれるのが自衛隊だとわかっているからです。しかし一部の中国や韓国の息がかかった日本人や日本人になりすましている人々が自衛隊に対して非礼な発言やデモを行っています。少数派は声が大きいと言いますし、日本では「出る杭うたれる」ということわざがあるので大半の日本国民はそういった人々を白い目で見て呆れています。

@@Video2WebbI think it’s a continuation of the propaganda they started after WW2. From a history of battles, warriors and conflicts, present-day Japanese people are the complete opposite - conflict avoidance, seeking peaceful solutions, being non-confrontational - those are all instilled from a young age. That’s also possibly the reason history lessons about WW2 are sanitized. As a result, Japanese people now are some of the most peaceful and non-aggressive people I know. This was done to basically change the country from one ruled by the military to a civilian-driven one like the US. It worked too well, I think. They don’t want to think of even the idea of war. This is why it’s hard to convince regular Japanese people I talk to that arming the JSDF is not inviting war, but preparing for the future - which can be seen as increasingly worrying given China’s recent actions.

「基地があるから狙われる」本気でそう考えるのはふざけてると思わざるをえない
「玄関に鍵をかけるからこじ開けられて侵入される」って言ってるのと同じなんだよな。
暴論だって事に気づかない😢
基地があるから狙われるのではなく地政学上台湾海域での中国軍にとって重要な島だから狙われる。基地があれば攻撃させるのは間違いではないが基地が無くても占領される。大した戦闘は起きないだろうが住民は確実に中国本土に強制移住させられる。結局のところ有事があれば確実に島は壊滅的被害を受ける事になる。。残念ながらそういう立地の島なのである。

From a Japanese perspective, Japan's military situation is extremely complex.
Japan is located in a highly precarious position in terms of national security, yet discussing the military openly in Japan is taboo. For instance, within the Self-Defense Forces, terms like "infantry" and "weapons" are prohibited as they are considered aggressive. "Infantry" is termed as "regular units" and "weapons" as "defense equipment." (By the way, in Japan, even the word "war" is avoided as being aggressive, and instead "emergency situation" is used.) The Japanese Communist Party, which advocates for the abolition of the Self-Defense Forces, is a significant third party in Japan, which might seem very strange when considering Japan's security needs.
However, due to a long-standing taboo against war and the military in Japan, the government has carefully crafted its propaganda. It has argued that the Self-Defense Forces are necessary to protect the nation from disasters. In fact, the media has opportunistically jumped on this government propaganda, broadcasting Self-Defense Forces PR programs on television almost every week, which enjoy high viewership. Thirty years ago, the Self-Defense Forces were seen as a place for "criminals," but now, almost all citizens admire them.
Thus, the Japanese government has effectively used the widespread public support for the Self-Defense Forces to continually increase military spending. As a result, state-of-the-art warships are being launched one after another, and Japan has even purchased 100 F-35s from the United States. These facts are disregarded by Japanese who believe that the military and their daily lives are completely disconnected.
Can you understand this twisted relationship between the Japanese people, the Self-Defense Forces, and the government? While the citizens support the Self-Defense Forces as a "disaster relief team," the government strengthens the military under the guise of this popularity. The Self-Defense Forces are steadily reinforced, yet most Japanese are unaware that this is a measure to protect the homeland from war.
Since Japan's defeat in World War II, its pacifism has been steadily distorted, and the government has used propaganda and concealment to strengthen the military. However, speaking as a Japanese person, if China or Russia were to invade Japan despite having such a military, Japanese people would likely panic.
Very interesting! Thank you for the insight
"Japan has even purchased 100 F-35s from the United States"
This is the sentence I've been looking for. Why am I not surprised hahaha. Don't forget that military hardware is being bought so it can be used SO you have to buy another one. US economy is based on state capitalism - wars and conflicts...
Please pay attention to Asian history. Japan has always invaded China for nearly a thousand years. During World War II, Japan, as an Asian Nazi, tried to end Chinese civilization, but China never invaded Japan, and even the Chinese Communist Party never took the initiative to start a war.
The Japanese are still unwilling to admit their crimes that they committed in World War II, such as slaughterless civilians and the Nanjing Massacre.Japan is a country that refuses to reflect. In contrast, Germany's reflection is more thorough.
@@user-ks1we8gd7rvery true, but with China, it's all about opportunity. They have never had the opportunity to humble its longest rival. And as shown with their government's language in the past few years, they are open about openly reclaiming their disputed territory with force, despite the possibility of many lost lives and the possiblity of break of a war.
(Edit: best thing to do is give China the benefit of the doubt, while continuing to gradually strengthen defense).
This is actually wholesome. And also the fact that they allowed him to join them.

I was born in the US and my father is a former US Army officer, but I was born in Japan so joined the JGSDF. At first, I thought about joining the US Army, but I wanted to protect Japanese. Japan is currently in a very difficult situation, but I want to fight for my country without sparing my life.
So you were born in two different countries?
Fight for a country that forced you to wear masks, get jabs, and has a collapsing currency? Ok, good luck. Putting a piece of tissue paper over your face for three years was one of the dumbest things people ever agreed to.

平和にありたいという希望が平和をもたらすのではなく、相応の軍事力が平和をもたらすのはウクライナをみても明白
yep so true. even in today's interconnected world, reliant global economies and increased cultural exchange and mutual understandings; politicians will always be drunk on power no matter the will of their people. deterrence is key
E X A C T L Y...When will the verbose idealists and utopians learn that strength delivers peace and sometimes one has to exert the strength in order to stop a war happening, or fight it down to the end. Who said that life comes easy in this universe? It's no picnic and one needs to never appease anyone like Iran, Russia, China. Easier said than done I know 🙄😒
@@Video2Webb I'm not overly idealistic enough to believe that military force isn't a proven way to enforce peace. There's definitely a place for it. But I also think you can't rely heavily on might to make right, because then you end up in situations like the United States' where - due to their immense military - they tend to put forward the stick 90% of the time that a carrot would work better instead.
Both aspects of diplomacy need to be used depending on the situation, but when you heavily invest in your military you typically try and show that it was worth all the billions you spent on it. And when things actually come to blows, governments need to remember that the winning force can't just leave as soon as things are over - the military has to be remembered as, by far the best, forms of destruction _and_ reconstruction. Without the latter, the former has no meaning other than wanton carnage.
it's a sad truth of the world that we seem to have to relearn over and over. Peace without strength is simply impossible
@@ojisankusai I think if you look modern history, the US overwhelmingly uses diplomacy and other soft methods to achieve its goals rather than military force. The big exception is Iraq 2003, and there were certainly ulterior motives behind that.

Exactly! Okinawa did not become a strategic military target because a base was built there, rather a base was built there because it is a strategic military target.
The Self-Defense Forces, the US military, and the People's Liberation Army are all well aware of this. I think the Japanese people should understand this fact, but everyone is too ignorant about military matters.

Great journalism as always! But this need to be said.
Japan has historically benefited from regional conflicts, such as the Korean War, which significantly boosted its post-WWII economy by serving as a defense base for the US. There are claims that Japan's current stance on protecting Taiwan is an excuse to reassert its military presence in Asia, reminiscent of its pre-WWII imperial days.

Do you think an independent journalist could make it into another countries boot camp without being supported by the deep state?
As a Japanese, I appreciate your work.
There is a lack of proper knowledge of threats in Japan, with many reports critical of the SDF's deterrence efforts due to past history.
Of course, the past must not be forgotten, but it is also the responsibility of the nation to protect the current population.
As a Japanese citizen, I sincerely hope that the Self-Defense Forces will finish its role as a "sword without drawing" (that can easily change depending on the decisions of the "continent"...).
Personally, I am amazed at the Japanese Ministry of Defense for allowing RUclipsrs to interview them... It very much shows the changing times.
The video was an example of good journalism. Thank you.
