Love to see it. But Japan has been effectively de-balled. At the time, it was quite necessary.
I am not so sure. we had a LOT of Japanese exchange students at Tulane, and they seemed to evince signs of a renaissance of Bushido
The main advantage of the Bushido warriors at first was that they did not play by the same "rules" as their adversaries. Only when their adversaries (the West) grew strong enough to stomp them into the earth did they eventually capitulate. Assymetrical warfare has been around for a long time.
Love to have them as full-fledged military allies.
as would I.
now, if only they and the South Koreans can be trusted to operate on the same battlefield as allies...
The most eloquent picture!
Thanks, DTogo. :))
