I, myself, am just a little amazed that the Japanese Coast Guard had the balls
to shoot back after the ship tried fired a number of RPG-7s at them.

Tenacity and fighting spirit are not exactly hallmarks of today's Japanese self defense forces.

I thought the Japanese defense forces acquitted themselves pretty good.
At least they had some pretty cool footage to release about the incident...more
bang for the buck than I get from the US Military!

I watched the footage, too. And you are right, they did a good job.
