Golgo 13 "follows orders"?
We're...talking about the same guy, right?

He follows orders when he gets paid, unless he feels he's being conned or used.

Not only China, you heard the news about North Korea. Kim Jong Un's uncle was executed, and people are worried that Kim Jong behavior may be a bit unstable after the execution meaning he could do another misslle tests. |

Japan needs real army and real weapons to defend itself against any danger when WW3 breaks out ( US Russia China etc.. )

Seriously, this is really low, using a fictional and beloved (I think) character to promote enlisting in the army. Sure there's the demographic of the work but...seriously guys? |

Oh, like we're any better-- Anyone remember those USMC recruitment commercials from the (pre-Iraq) 80's, that tried to persuade us that being a Marine was like being a "modern-day knight", and pitched images of fighting dragons and chess warriors to SFX fantasy/gamer fans? (Oh, were THEY hitting the wrong demographic...Nobody I remember from HS Chess or D&D club ever made it into the Corps.  )

Or the fact that military recruiters try to liken playing Call of Duty to wanting to be an actual Marine. They'll do anything to get more recruits. I don't see how using Golgo 13 is a low for them.

Hey at least that's a bit better than some of the recent ones: 
Even tweeting a stupid Love Live-based ditty:  
Those otaku would get killed in the battlefield.

I have an affection for Japan, but uh... I feel hesitant to support them having a real, standing military force.
And I doubt Duke Togo, an assassin who isn't especially particular about his clients, would be a military cheerleader. |

*Self-Defence Forces. Japan has Self-Defence Forces. Not Army.
