I don’t know if this says more about the real state of Japanese militarism or those who claim to be concerned about it. The Japanese Defense Ministry has announced their new logo:
According to Younghusband, the Defense Ministry requested design ideas for the new logo from the public and 767 designs were submitted and they chose this one. It looks like a big, green monster ready to take over the world. With a logo like this it is clear another clear another Pearl Harbor is right around the corner. Why didn’t they design a nice peaceful logo like the ROK Ministry of National Defense:
The signs of rising Japanese imperialism don’t just stop with this logo, they even have aggressive looking anime characters to distribute their new defense policies:
Then how can we forget that warmonger in waiting Prince Pickles:
Admiral Yamamoto has nothing on Prince Pickles.
Then finally the ultimate sign of the rising tide of Japanese Imperialism are their new war glorifying recruiting commercials. Yes, the signs are clear, Japanese Imperialism is something be feared. Prepare the defenses around Dokdo because the invasion could come at any moment from Prince Pickles and his dancing, singing sailors.
