Perhaps after obliterating the fascist religio-military regime in Tehran with two nuclear weapons they’ll end up turning out intriguing pop culture like this.

Join the Navy and See Asia!

Seems harmless enough.

Spiffy Japanese sailors manning destroyers and submarines under a rising sun battle flag. Don’t worry, that’s not a dive bomber . . . just a rescue aircraft. And that jaunty scarf? Pretty sure it doesn’t say Divine Wind or anything like that. It’s all about a threatening as a Power Rangers preview (and possible directed by the same regie du cinema).

Still, why does the sight of Japanese people in military uniforms give me the willies?
