Intelligence and a callous disregard for human life are not mutually exclusive.
Yes they are.
I mean nowadays we could get away with a significant percentage of world population suicide bombing an enemy, just WW2 Japan couldn't in the long run.

Hey, chankoro, you like Mariya Takeuchi?
>Um, they're chabuduo.
Her early work was a little new wave for my taste. But when Plastic Love came out in '85, I think she really came into her own, commercially and artistically. The whole single has a clear, aesthetic sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives her songs an algorythm boost. She's been compared to Miki Matsubara, but I think Mariya has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

No, Chang.
>Is that a raincoat?
Yes, it is. In '85, Mariya released this; Plastic Love, her most accoplished album. I think her undisputed masterpiece is "Plastic Love". A song so catchy, most people probably can't even understand the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the sadness of breakups and the emptiness of modern life. It's also a personal statement about the singer herself. Hey, Chang!

ah, thanks for joining us, Judge
Because it simply wasn’t the same society that it is today.
False. Even if you don’t care at all about human life if you want an army with good capabilities that remains effective throughout a conflict, you want to preserve the lives of your experienced personnel as much as possibly, there’s also the moral factor and if you are ordering your troops to commit outright suicide you might find many of them willing to desert in return. Intelligence in a war means maximizing impact on the enemy and minimizing it on yourself.
But it didn't even work
QRD?
a 2kg explosive charge at the end of a 1m long pole
it has a shaped charge on it to allow it to penetrate armor
it was actually every bit as stupid as you think
as the heavy wooden pole made it more unwieldy than an AT mine
and if you are brave enough to run at a tank with a stick, then you are brave enough to just try and use an adhesive mine
the only advantage is that in your final moments you can aim the charge pointed to armor when you charge instead of taking 2 seconds to make sure your mine is pointing sticky side to target
+2 meter to range
+ instant action
- self damage

Did you expect a country that sent 20 year old pilots out on suicide missions to not do something like this? It's just a more honest form of equipping your men with magnetic anti tank charges.
Nips
"intelligent"
WW2 equipment was either dangerous to use normally (Type94) or deliberately (everything else)
Type 94 handgun was perfectly safe to use, you'd have to go out of your way with a stick or something to misfire it. At that point any gun is dangerous.
I imagine there's the same reasoning behind it as the kamikaze pilots: they can't train new personnel fast enough to keep up with losses, and the technology gap between them and the Americans is only widening, so if sending them into combat is a suicide mission either way then you might as well make it a more effective one.
They weren't as intelligent back then. Just hyper aggressive and convinced they could conquer the Pacific and China with fighting spirit. Once they started getting desperate there were all kinds of suicide weapons like these. Suicide planes, suicide rockets, suicide boats, suicide divers, suicide grenade infantry, etc.
Fighting spirit is all it takes to conquer China. A handful of civilians and a preacher held off the Boxers because they decided to eat horse rather than surrender.
>Fighting spirit is all it takes to conquer China.
So Mao and the Communists did.
Well, you also need a wilingness to kill an ASSLOAD of chinese. See also Mongols.
Japs love commuting suicide. It’s like their favorite shit.

lol thats not how it works. ww2 was 80 years ago, those soldiers had the same exact genes and intelligence as todays japanese people
Not quite true. IQ will often rise along with average height in a population if their overall nutrition improves. More nutrients and calories in childhood allow more brain growth.
I stand corrected. You're right
>Why?
desperation
Making proper MANPAT was difficult and novel at the time. Look at the Brits with the PIAT for example. The Japanese made what they could with the knowledge they had at the time; recall that in general their infantry technology and knowledge was roughly at an interwar, or WWI, level.
they did introduce the Type 4 70mm AT rocket launcher into service in 1944
>The Japanese made what they could with the knowledge they had at the time
they had already invented a far better AT weapon earlier in the war, the 20mm AT rifle
the lunge mine is, if anything, actually worse than just trying to slap a sticky bomb on the enemy
even the russians had a 14.5mm PTRD that, while crude, was still better than trying to kamikaze a tank with a bomb
You just lack the samurai spirit
The PIAT was actually good though, didn't have the range of a rocket propelled launcher but could also be fired indoors and from concealed positions. The funny thing is the stupidly innovative shaped charge that it used paired with what was essentially a catapult.
>Making proper MANPAT was difficult and novel at the time.
Yeah, but their buddies had already worked the problem. Shame they were not cc'd a copy of the blueprints.

I'm pretty sure your spear becomes a harpoon if you want to use it under water.
iirc harpoons are just spears with barbs, primarily used to catch (usually fish) and not necessarily to kill. I could also be moronic so idk and I refuse to look it up
>The Fuku Yu
The first military submarine agreed
The jerries used something similar
At least that thing had a timer, so you could in theory get away.
Notice it isn't contact fused.
It makes a bit more sense when you realize that the Germans were using shaped-charges as demolitions weapons before anyone was thinking of them as potential anti-tank weapons.

>Japan is a mentally deranged, hyper backwards society.
This, they had to wise the frick up over the last century or so. Part of it is that they've always been almost rabidly isolationist, closing down the borders for decades at a time on a whim. WW2 was a very big wake up call. The fact it took a second nuclear bombing to make them surrender should spell that out, if it was anyone else they would've at least called a ceasefire after one nuke. Yes, I know the Red Army was on Sakhalin and they were also afraid of that barbarian horde raping and pillaging their way across Japan, but it's more of an "in addition to" thing rather than "we fear people who are as morally unscrupulous as we are more than having the Rising Sun come down and wipe our entire race and culture off the face of the earth", the thought of the Red Army invading in addition to the Air Force nuking them was just diarrhea icing on the shit cake they were being given in 1945.
They've come a long way since then, but they still have issues, mostly causing suffering for their own people more than anything else. Like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amagasaki_derailment
All that being said, Japan has never been invaded by a foreign power, so in some ways it might have been better to just let the Reds loose on them to wake them up to reality for once, or maybe it would have been worth it to save the nukes for Moscow and invade them ourselves. They've never had the concept of an armed populace because they've never had to rebel against an invading power, which only adds to how shit is over there.
Japan was the west's China before China, in fact the US decided to shift cheap stuff to China almost specifically to counter Japan in the 1980s/1990s
Part of that shift was dealing with the Japanese concept of honor. Before and during the war, joining the military was hyped up as the ultimate rite of manhood, to kill and maybe die for your homeland. And while that's commendable, they took the concept way too far, especially in the Pacific campaign. You probably know about the kamikaze planes, but take a look at this horrifying shit:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiten
This is a suicide torpedo. Yes, they specifically built this thing to be piloted into an enemy ship by a human being, who would absolutely die on fulfilling his duty. The saving grace of some was that the waters sometimes fricked up the electronics and made them not fire, to the dismay of the patriotic 20 year old inside.
They had other purpose-built suicide craft and purposely suicidal roles too, this one's just an example.
Anyway, after the war and demilitarization, Japan had a shift in thinking regarding honor. It was thought they could attain honor by making their nation and family successful through business instead, which is why their economy bounced back like it did and they became a huge market. Again, this is commendable and indeed honorable. Again, they're taking it too far. Karoshi is a term for death by overworking, usually suicide. This became a term for a reason, this is why Japanese men kill themselves and why a lot of them are now dropping out of society altogether after seeing it happen to their fathers. They're sick of being expected to do grueling shit for no benefit to themselves and being shamed for not suffering constantly. This is a big part of why their population is declining, not even getting into the whole "career women" thing.
Japan's only flaw is that they're trying too hard. Japan's society is efficient beyond compare, but the cost in human suffering isn't worth it. It's worth a little GDP drop for personal comforts and a more relaxed society.
they need to smoke some weed and chill out, maybe rub one out.
When the individual has no value no sum of those individuals has value.
>Japan's society is efficient beyond compare
Except it's really not. Japanese have some of the highest hours worked for a given level of output because the basically waste most of their day sitting around in the office to "show their dedication". Salarymen will literally fall asleep at their desk because it's interpreted as " oh he worked so hard he fell asleep at work" and not "wow, he took a nap at work instead of just getting shit done and going home". It may have been a commendable work ethic post WWII where the country was a smoldering pile of radioactive ash and there was actual work to be done, but the reality is that lots of Japanese people just work for the sake of working because it's what's expected of them, but their actual contributions to the GDP are almost meaningless.
>Japan's society is efficient beyond compare,
Excuse me?
>it might have been better to just let the Reds loose on them to wake them up to reality for once, or maybe it would have been worth it to save the nukes for Moscow and invade them ourselves.
The best timeline is dropping one nuke, let the Soviets invade Japan and watch both sides kill each other off, and re-arm the Wehrmacht like Patton wanted to and march on Moscow. Europe is free of communism and the US can still swoop in and rebuild Japan
>Soviets invading Japan
With what navy?
That sounds like not my problem. If 1M reds drowned trying to swim there it’s even better. Also Japan barely had a navy in the summer of 1945
>Part of it is that they've always been almost rabidly isolationist, closing down the borders for decades at a time on a whim.
Factually incorrect.
Japan doesn't have a history of extensive isolation aside from the sakoku period which was quite limited in its extent. They still had regulated trade ports for china and korea and special trade mission with the dutch.
With the latter playing a highly important role allowing them to stay informed about european developments and granting them acess to european scientific texts and inventions.
>Japan has never been invaded by a foreign power
The Ainu would disagree.
Frick off yayoi, and take your dry earwax with you. /k/ is a Jomon board.
But Ainu are more Jomon than Yayoi
The Yayoi were almost a full 25cm taller and around 30kg heavier on average than the Jomon which is why the Yayoi near genocided the Jomon and treated the Jomon as bushmeat, even african slaves in antebellum US had a cakewalk compared to how the Yayoi dealt with the Jomon, which is why today modern Japanese are over 98% Yayoi and the Japanese around the Tokyo and Osaka regions are over 99% Yayoi genetics

On another note why the frick is it ALWAYS Africans flooding in to every country on earth?
Because the legacy of colonialism has left Africa in an unimaginably shitty state, with any form of development being a pipe dream for much of the continent.
If you were in Africa, you'd also try to get out.
Also, important to note all the people in

Aquariums are not countries, "fish" is not a citizenship. But you already know that.
>The point
>Your head
Africa has no one but themselves to blame, if you believe the out of Africa theory, Africans literally had a headstart of thousands of years, but they did jackshit because they have no brains, literally every other group of people on earth are superior to Africans
Or maybe Africa is inherently less hospitable than the global north, could that be a viable reason?
Food security plays a major role in societal development and if farming is difficult or unfeasible, then society will not develop.
This is why societies historically moved along rivers, because that's where farming is easy.
What makes reading latin good? Why is it a good thing to be able to read latin? Can you explain this point, because you are saying something unusual here.
The wheel is not inherently useful. The wheel is useful if you can build and maintain roads, otherwise there are not a lot of benefits to using a wagon over a mule, for instance. Wheeled wagons are less reliable than simply carring things, especially in less favorable terrain, where building roads is a major investment.
There are no universal trueisms like "wheel good" in the world.
>water purification
If they couldn't do that, how are there still Africans? They should've died out thousands of years ago, no?
>modern farming
Modern farming is a 20th century invention and Africans knew how to farm, it's just that the land where farming was viable is extremely limited.
You let your racism blind you to simple observable realities. You can hate Black folk AND understand why Africa is the way it is. After all, doesn't it feel better knowing that the people you hate were fricked over and continue to get exploited and ruined?
Don't come to me with this 19th century pussy shit about "oh we need to take care of the Blacks". It's pathetic and dishonest.
>have continent where you can have year round agriculture
>this is worse for agriculture than the part of the world where you lose 1/3-1/2 of the year for agriculture
africa has many geological problems but the inability to feed a population trough agriculture isn't one of them
africa is far more plagues by having very limited river networks for transport and trade.
>he doesn't mention Latin
>Latin becomes the point of contention
why do you do this annon?
But I'l have a crack at it
Latin helps you learn romance languages and English, which in turn opens up the world to you
You don't need roads to use the weel nor do you need pack animals
a man dragging a cart over mostly open terrain will do a lot better than a man carrying stuff
the wheel much like fire, metal working and writing are objective good things to have. Even if in certain places and times they add less, they still add.
>You let your racism blind you to simple observable realities.
i would dare say that you are just as blinded by the annon you are responding to in coping for africa
the objective reality is that africas population, stable for centuries (bantu genocides/conquest aside). has boomed once the scramble for africa happened that european powers started not only going inland but started to colonise their up to that point coastal holdings.
Colonialism while having many bad things, is a very big net positive for africa.
Africans have enough agency that all the failings of the continent can't simply be blamed on "muh colonials" africans are plenty competent to frick up their own afairs like any other race.
>a man dragging a cart over mostly open terrain will do a lot better than a man carrying stuff
That would assume that you have "mostly open terrain", see how that goes?
The wheel, like fire and metalworking and writing is not "objectively good to have".

You got to cut the Japanese some slack. They're the world's only post-Apocalyptic country.
Did it get any tank kills?
To their credit, tanks were still a relatively new field and were still undergoing some pretty wild experimentation even then. Anti-tank tech was even newer than that, previously soldiers either had extra hot K-bullets designed to try shooting the crew directly through the hull or they'd do wacky shit like strap a frickton of grenades together and throw it at them. Lunge mines were just another weird, extant evolution of AT technology, just like the Germans and their magnetic AT mines. On that note, they then also invented a countermeasure for these mines for their tanks in the form of an expensive and useless hull coating, despite the fact that nobody else but them used magnetic mines. The Soviets thought the coating was to protect the crew against flames, nobody thought the Germans were autistic enough to develop such a useless thing.
Anyway, the path forward among all of them turned out to be launchers, hence why we don't have AT rifles or grenades or whatnot anymore now. As always, it was western Europe and America leading the way forward.
Japs are still using AT grenades, albeit as a rifle grenade
>tanks were still a relatively new field
Not in 1944, they weren't.
>To their credit, tanks were still a relatively new field
I'm literally an Imperial Japan apologist and Jap equipment revisionist and I cringed. Their tanks were shit, end of. Sufficient for their (justified) war against the Chinese menace so not much thought was put into them. No need to make excuses.
His post is bad, but I disagree with
>Their tanks were shit
Yeah, they were terrible if you're trying to fight a maneuver war in Europe or Africa. But Japan was a primarily light infantry military fighting in a lot of jungle, marshland, and mountainous regions. Their tanks worked fine for that application, and honestly did better in the rough terrain they fought in than heavier European designs of the same era would have. From 1942 on they were also fighting a primarily naval war, which sucked resources away from tank development. So is it really any wonder that, up until they started having to deal with M4s, they used smaller and lighter designs focused more on infantry support? Even the Ha-Go could kill American Stuart tanks, which is what Japan was facing until Shermans came into the picture in late 1943.
I wasn't arguing for their tanks, I was excusing some of their experimental AT devices. The tank foreword was to illustrate that AT had to evolve in pace with tank development, and it sometimes took strange turns trying to keep up.
Not excusing the equipment designed to be suicidal, but the lunge mine seemingly wasn't intended that way. The idea was that the shaped charge on the end would funnel the explosion almost entirely into the tank and away from the operator. Not sure how well that worked out in practice, at the least the tiny Jap on the other end would be flung back with the same force as the explosion, at worst he becomes a red stain on the ground.
On what field exactly is japan ahead? Or ever was. They’re like chinks. Forcing young children to study math rigorously to become bugman flesh work slaves. Japs are fricking moronic.
Probably Swedes are the most intelligent people on earth, and only thing in common with the japs is social distancing and culture of humbleness.
>On what field exactly is japan ahead?
Yamato and Musashi were the largest machines ever built by man at the time and they were one of the few countries alongside Germany, UK and US to have a nuclear weapons project during WWII
>Yamato and Musashi were the largest machines ever built by man at the time
Technically not true, there were a few cruise ships that exceeded them in tonnage and physical dimensions
really? which ones?
Queen Mary and Elizabeth both exceeded Yamatos by a few thousand tons displacement
Also Normandie, but to to be fair it's easier to make a huge frickoff ocean liner than a battleship.
This, but also their torpedoes and optical equipment was superior to any other.
>On what field exactly is japan ahead?
several. optics, chemical engineering, robotics, precision instruments, etc.
>They’re like chinks.
that would be korea.
Japan was short on oil, or rubber or glue for adhesive bombs. Also, that's an Army weapon, and they always got the short end of the stick.
Least fricked up asians?
It was absolutely NOT a whim. The tokugawa shogunate thought that both the mercantile traders and the missionaries were potentially lethal threats to japan, even more so after Masamune's expedition to Mexico where they saw what happened to the Aztecs. Considering what the European powers ended up doing with both trade and religion, this was a very justified fear.

How did you guys manage to get invaded by Jap manlets twice when you're so much smarter?
The same reason why the Han Chinese occupy most of historical Mongolia, in pre-modern warfare overwhelming numbers = powered
Population in 1910:
Japan: 51 million
Korea (both North and South): 17 million
It was an annexation that was supported by the business elites in Korea thst had close often familial ties with Japan
The royal family in Korea was backwards and instead of embracing modernization became isolationist for centuries, whereas the Japanese were somewhat easily conquered against Europeans that traveled to Japan, the Europeans could never obtain a foothold in Korea and ended up just getting killed. So the Korean royal family maintained this posture of isolationism thinking it could work whereas the Japanese realized they had to adopt western technologies or end up as a colony - this was the divergent point that ultimately lead to the 1910 annexation that was coordinated and supported by the business and military elites in Korea that had close ties often familial with Japan in an annexation that did not involve combat.
Is that why the sole Korean attempt in history to invade Japan (not even mainland but a small island) was easily crushed by a 30 times smaller Japanese force, asiaticshill?
1 samurai > 100 asiatic soldiers is no meme. asiatics can't even invade a small Japanese island while Japanese invasions always do catastrophic damage to Korea, from wiping out a quarter of population, to wiping out the nation itself lol
No wonder asiatics have such a massive inferiority complex towards Japan.

asiaticshill sisters....?
There have been around 1000 recorded battles between Korea and Japan and over 900 ended up like picrel
1 Korean killed 1000+ Japanese with barely taking any casualties
There's a reason why Korea, a country outnumbered 3:1 by Japan and 100:1 by China, is the still independent to this day having never lost a war in its entire history
This does not even include the Korean colonization and subsequent genocide of Japanese native Jomon to create the modern Japanese race of Korean Y DNA + Japanese X DNA
Not only does the entire Japanee royal family come from Korea but Emperor Ojin, the first Japanese emperor was literally from southwestern Korea
Lmfao you fricking troony weeb
Is that why Korea lost one million to the invasion, two capital cities burned to the ground, and several cities got Nanking'd to the level the official Chinese dynastic history admits China and vassal (Korea) stood no chance in contrast to negligible Japanese casualties IRL, asiaticshill?
War sucks you troony weeb, Japanese targeted civilians but Koreans ended up killing even more Japanese than that, the stories of the Japanese soldiers stuck on the peninsula after Yi sunk the entire Japanese navy will make your stomach curl over
The crazy thing is that Japan wanted to turn Korea into a core part of Japan, like Honshu or Kyushu, but the Koreans looked down on the Japanese similar to how US whites look down on Sudaca immigrants, but since Emperor Ojin (first Japanese emperor) was Korean and the Yamato race was literally named after the Korean Yamato clan, the Japanese really wanted to reunite with their progenitors
This is why the US felt morally justified dropping the nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki civilians in addition to firebombing Tokyo into dust again killing millions of civilians, it wasn't until the last few decades that the world considered Japanese as real humans
Picrel was what we taught every kid in the US for almost a century

Koreans ended up killing a million Japanese soldiers after the Japanese navy was sunk and then ended up killing another million Ming soldiers who tried to stay, keep in mind this was when Korea was probably at its weakest so it was literally Korean peasants killing Japanese/Chinese "soldiers" with something like 20:1 kill ratios on land and an infiite kill ratio on sea since no Korean ships were lost and the 1000+ Japanese naval fleet was all sunk
Lmfao

Japan has no ability to innovate they lack the creativity part of the brain, however, they are as good as China at copying the west
their scientists realized the possibility of building the A-bomb same time west did
> same time
So they spied on the US or Germans
no, many people independently reached the same conclusion via theoretical understanding

EMPEROR?
After the Germans discovered nuclear fission in 1938 I believe nuclear weapons were obvious to most physicists and probably many military officers.
And quite a few science fiction writers.

And the one that anon posted
If Japs stole their car designs from the Germs, why are they so much easier to fix?
Some of them I have no business commenting on and I'm not going to deny that the Japanese have engaged in copying, but the Subaru 360 and VW Beetle have almost nothing in common mechanically other than the basic layout. The designer was inspired by the Beetle, but there were multiple other air-cooled, rear engined cars designed in the postwar period, i.e., the Citroen 2CV and Renault 4. The Beetle itself was heavily influenced by prewar Tatras. Ditto for the Nambu, similar form factor yes but mechanically it's quite different.

Shouldn't you be dying in a ditch somewhere?
Not my fault it's the only useful reverse image search engine nowadays. And their website isn't blocked to the west you double moron /misc/-ack

Honestly I find it creepy how they enlarged the eyes on those mascots. Enters some kind of uncanny valley.
Posting one last comparisons image
Other than the grip angle and magazine baseplate style, the Type 14 Nambu and P08 Luger have absolutely nothing in common. The Glock 17 and the Browning Hi-power are practically identical twins in comparison to the Nambu and Luger.
Cool, get nuked while your waifu fricks K-bulls, homosexual
>Doesn't know about guns
Hello, fellow /k/ommando!
Actually, I guess there's also the magazine release.
Couldn't they just ask the Germans for panzerfaust blueprints? This shit is easy to make
back then you actually had to transport those blueprints by sea which was pretty difficult to pull off from europe to japan in the middle of a war.
Why couldn’t they have sent them by plane?
Anon, the technology to fax pictures has existed for nearly 100 years.
Polish army in USSR was in a similar situation. Forced to fight for those who executed their friends and families. But they escaped to the western allies as soon as it was possible.

Prior to getting nuked, they really weren't
Are you implying the Japanese are super-intelligent post-atomic mutants?
This is what the Japanese would look like if the war had last 5 more days and the Demon Core had been dropped.
Have you ever been in a japanese arcade at 1:30 AM? It's a reasonable claim.
I'm glad someone caught that. I would have to perform seppuku otherwise...with that short end of the wakizashi.
Japan is unparalleled at high quality copies. Even the copy machine.
They weren't technologically advanced by '39. Japan had to rush their industrialization so they didn't have the industrial capacity to make bazooka-analogs in sufficient numbers to matter.
Desperation. The Axis were always the underdog against the Anglo-Ameri-judeo-mongrel world order.
>the regiment is best known as the most decorated in U.S. military history
Posthumously btw. And most of it guilt for interning Japs.
Capacity for intelligence doesn’t not mean all decisions are intelligent. Also they were (still are?) bug people
Pure desperation and suicidal stubbornness.
How much tank are on the pacific anyways.
because they were losing and desperate
>Intelligent
Bro they were backwards savages until the 1870s and even then still savages with modern tech until 1950s.
Japan was shit back then, their kit was horrible
One of the guys that served in this unit later went on to be the vice-leader of the US Senate.
Japs love suicide. Like, they still circkejerk over creating a grotesque violent suicide ritual as if designing an entire wardrobe around disembowling yourself is something to be proud of. They even have a fricking suicide forest. When a Jap goes bankrupt, he doesn't think "how can I get my finances back on track after this," no instead he is just thinking about how he's going to kill himself and which family members he's going to make kill themselves along with him. Japs are violent savages who crave violence like a junkie craves heroin. All the fricked up shit from Japan, the hikikomori, the chikan, the weird vending machines, the dolphin hunting. It's all a product of the Jap "brain" being unable to properly navigate a life without killing
>the dolphin hunting
Didn't know Norway and Iceland were Japanese colonies.
The dolphin hunting might be ok in a vacuum, but along side all the other barbaric shit they do, it's one more reason not to trust them
>Didn't know Norway and Iceland were Japanese colonies.
I think I just found my next conspiracy theory.
INT and WIS are two different things.
Nips are proof that intelligence has just as much to do with society as it does genetics (which are still extremely important), as they were fairly moronic before the US slapped them hard enough to settle down and just focus on rebuilding their economy. Of course now they're ruled by an aging population that would rather have every street be a bit quieter than see any economy activity even if it's obviously killing their children's future prospects, so they still aren't all that smart just less prone to chimping out.
The 442nd was overwhelmingly recruited from Hawaii, where Japanese-Americans weren't ever interned. There's a reason why the regimental motto is a Hawaiian pidgin gambling idiom. Same goes for the other prominent Japanese-American unit from World War Two, the 100th Infantry Battalion ("the One-Puka-Puka").
>one of the most intelligent societies on Earth
Nah, that's just western weebs desperate to identify with anything but their own perceived fecality.
Had Japan been smart it would not have had its Army and Navy making their own conflicting foreign and war policies.
Guerrilla warfare is one hell of a drug.
Jomon genetics
>Old people are old
>Young athletes are young and athletic.
Amazing, anon.
Yayoi genetics
Yayoi vs Jomon
Lol complete Yayoi domination over the bushmeat Jomon
Lmfao
> 1 Korean naval genius leading 13 ships sinks the entire Japanese navy + kill 60,000 Japanese soldiers
This is effectively the 300 on steroids
Koreans = Spartans
Japanese = Persians
Lmfao
>Bragging about killing natives you outnumber 375:1
Can you imagine if an American gloated about the California Indian Wars?
Koreans don't brag about colonizing Japan and civilizing the native Jomon its simply understood as what happened thousands of years ago
If the yayoi (and by extension, the japanese) are just Koreans, why are you so butthurt about them annexing Korea? Since they're both Koreans anyway it shouldn't be big deal.
The truth is that they are the same race other than switch out ~10% of the genetics in Koreans for Mongols/Manchus and in Japan Jomon (hence why Koreans are significantly larger today despite looking almost the same otherwise)
But the redpill answer? South Korea is a Christian nation and Japan has refused to accept any Christian presence + latched onto Budhist/Shinto ways (anybody that is a scholar in Shintoism understands that all of their major deities are documented as originating from the southern Korean Peninsula)
The Chosun dynasty was backwards and because they were able to kill/repel the few US/British/European incursions in the 1800s or before the royalty thought their monkey ways could work forever, whereas the Japanese even though they massively outnumbered the Koreans, were easily defeated by the US/British/Europeans so figured out early on to adopt western technologies and spit on anything from the monkey tier Chinese originated ways...so Japan got about a century head start
Fast forward to post ww2 and everything was effectively a restart in Asia, Japan did better for the first 50 years post ww2 but since then its been all South Korea
Long story short, if Japan were to become Christian like South Korea they would effectively be united culuturally as much as they are genetically
Think northern Germans (Protestants) and southern Germans (Catholics), if they all pick one they would dominate Europe even more so they than already do today
Still haven't explained why you guys are still butthurt about the invasions.
I don't think anybody is butthurt about it anymore in reality, its more than South Koreans probably have a superiority complex over Japanese and Japanese probably have an inferiority complex to South Koreans...a lot of this can be rooted back to something as pedestrian as average physical heights and weights, South Koreans absolutely mog Japanese in both height and weight moreso than northern white Europeans mog say Indians and regardless of intellectually capabilities humans tend to be somewhat primal instinctually with respect to physical size particularly as societies versus other societies
>I don't think anybody is butthurt about it anymore in reality
Lol, lmao even. I went to multiple museums in Seoul that had sections about being a Japanese colony. The Seoul City Museum display was especially dramatic with a television screen behind a black chainlink fence with all the images being bordered by flames. If the Koreans aren't butthurt, why do they still build statues to memorialize the comfort women? Races who mog their neighbors usually don't need to build monuments to their women being used as wienersleeves by foreign invaders.
Yeah, they keep it going to stoke the competitive tension but in reality its similar to how much of US history to include in our museams has the British as the bad guys
Point me to the statues built outside of British embassies dedicated to victims of the War of 1812
Its all over the US and at the grassroots level taught to children from elementary school
asiatic
Our greatest ally
War of 1812 is a Canadian thing. They have it on their money, holidays, that kind of thing. It’s seen as the defining conflict which established Canada as an independent country from the expansionist US.
Everybody knows Korea is a country of butthurt and inferiority complex in its incarnation, and you are so quintessentially Korean, exactly the same as Koreans portrayed in the article, that it's impossible to believe you are not a asiaticshill.
>butthurt
>massive inferiority complex
>obsession with Japan
>obsession with American attention
>obsession with racial purity as a manifestation of colonial rapebaby mongrel complex
>endless wewuzzing and pseudohistory narratives
Lmfao obvious japanese inferiority complex towards Koreans
Its classic manlet syndrome, typical jap male is both shorter and lighter than the average european teenage girl and this is not even an exaggeration, they know nobody takes them seriously because they are all pygmies
asiatic projection and colonized rapebaby complex is always pure gold (inb4 ackchyually our legend has it that we wuz prehistoric conquerorz and emperorz).
To give context, number of Catholics Saints:
South Korea: 122 (first Saint in 1800s)
England: 181 (first Saint in 100s)
Poland: 31 (first Saint in 900s)
Keep in mind that South Korea is a Protestant nation as much as England is Anglican.

Yayoi vs Jomon was a popular wignat meme about 5 years ago to try and explain why whites were so low on the intellectual level compared to Asians, don;t know why this idiot got off the bus at that stop and still bleats about it
>why whites were so low on the intellectual level compared to As
>Based Mao kills 50 million commies.
Why the frick can't White people kill commies at those numbers?
I thought it was a /misc/-tard cope to explain how Japs are actually bona fide whites so race mixing with them totally isn't mutting up the white race
The most ridiculous part of the Jomon theory is that the Jomon are actually part of the same racial group as Southeast Asian aboriginals like Papua New Guineans and the Abos in Australia, Jomon to Australian Abo is similar to how Indians can trace some linkage to white Europeans racially
>Jomon to Australian Abo is
that's how hoteps try and claim there was a "black China"
>similar to how Indians can trace some linkage to white Europeans racially
no that's an actual fact
Aryan heritage is perfectly understood and North Indians have a huge number of white people
>aryan parts are the shittiest parts of India
Yes.meme

Here is what we teach our naval leadership

Lmfao
Is this the greatest one-sided moggery ever? Even on the US Naval Institute official website
A few hundred Koreans killing 60,000 Japanese, this makes the US kill ratio against the Japs in WW2 look amateurish

Would this be considered racist today? It was de riguer and taught to every child in the US back in the day, lmfao
Even our sjw's are calling out the hiroshima and nagasaki nukes as racist driven, the US involvement in Europe against the Germans is where the real fighting occurred and Japan was considered barely more than the UK war against Argentina, so the rationale is why not use the nukes on the Germans where the fighting was actually challenging instead of Japan where the fighting was easy? The answer is that Germans were considered humans and the nukes were too inhuman to use against them, but the Japs were not and hence the nukes, keep in mind MacArthur wanted to keep dropping more but the Japs gave up lmfao

loved that pic of hirohito. he looks like a rooster jumping over the sun or something. very charming.
aegis
The nukes were intended to be used on Germany lol, it was a bunch of israelites that made it
Germany surrendered before they were ready so Japan got cooked instead
Your narrative is almost the opposite of reality
Germany surrendered before the nukes were ready and beach-landing invasions on an island chain that resisted the Mongolians didn't have much appeal.
The only thing that saved the Japanese from the Mongols was a once in a century storm, the Mongols were absolutely skullcrushing the Japanese in their incursions
But you simply don't understand warfare, a surrender is only in effect once acknowledged and the US could have simply ignored the German surrender and dropped a few nukes for fun, the same essentially happened in Japan where it was clear that the Japanese wanted to surrender, but we did not really give them a forum to do so properly, and the live saving was in reality something like another 50k US lives which the US decided was better to nuke the Japs, they figured Japan already had over 3+ million killed and were still pissed about Pearl Harbor at the grassroots level, the estimates of millions of US lives was simply propaganda, the US already killed almost all of the Japanese that could fight and a land invasion was simply a curbstomping operation of the weakest males, women, geriatrics and children, macarthur wanted to keep dropping the nukes and was lowkey disappointed the US stopped at only two nukes
Moral of the story, don't frick with the US
>the US already killed almost all of the Japanese that could fight and a land invasion was simply a curbstomping operation
Anon, you have obviously no idea.
>1940s Japan

Modern Japan is great, but I don't know how anyone can look at their little 1937-1945 ape out as anything but suicidal moronation.
They also made a sweet under water version as well since planting a charge on a ship isn't suicidal enough

Japan still uses fax machines during the normal course of business. They are bug man smart, not white guy smart.
Having the entire society working 13 hours a day making VCRs and Hentai is literally their ideal.
>fax machines

>Japan still uses fax machines

Reread what you wrote until you realize you're moronic
We still use fax machines in America too when you need to securely send confidential information, but can't wait on snail mail. I've mostly seen it when dealing with medical paperwork.
So does America, moron. You're a NEET who's never worked in a professional setting.
the french use a lot of faxing to. They changed the law on public tenders just a few years ago to allow digital fils with digital signatures. Before then it was al fax or mail.
But in my (limited) experience having to do paperwork with the japanese they prefer e-mail over fax even when working with big corps like the NHK even before the french changed.
>I still have clients in france that want their paperwork faxed because it's the way they like it
>had to by a new fax machine last year just because of them
>those old folk are now retiring so I have a fax machine and nearly nothing to fax
The rationale was probably that infantry that had no anti tank would retreat, but if they had had a nominal anti tank weapon they would hold their ground.
Another reason might be that it was deployable with a considerable degree of precision by an untrained operator. It's probably the only anti tank you could arm conscripts with.
And for its failings, the allies were widely deploying satchel bombs and sticky bombs to infantry, when you compare the outcomes it's probably relative
Fascism can turn even the most civilized peoples into utter counterproductive savages. The cult of death, self destructive impulses towards the human body, and fetishism of sacrifice resonated all too well with samurai LARPers; combined with the civilian government that might have normally acted as a check on such destructive tendencies having totally lost control of the military, the result was disaster. The zeal was completely counterproductive. Sure, a banzai charge or kamikaze attack would freak the enemy out, but the Japanese were short on both manpower and resources. In a war where they should've been carefully spending lives and making every asset count, they were taking horrendous casualties refusing to yield worthless islands and acting like they were the ones with the manpower advantage.
I think the muh superior Japanese race aspect also came to bite them in the ass. In their external focused propaganda, the Japanese portrayed themselves as a force working to liberate and unite all East Asians from western overlords in a mutual alliance of self defense and prosperity. That resonated with tons of people. Even while they were treating other Asians like dirt, they had guys like Bose and others pissed at their European overlords trying to fight for them anyway. Had the Japanese simply not treated the Chinese, Koreans, etc like 3rd class citizens and slaves, I think they could've made genuine allies and been in a much stronger position. Portray themselves as an oriental Napoleon or Bolivar sweeping away warlords and breaking the European yoke on Asian necks, they might have flipped tons of people and gained much needed manpower rather than sparking insurgencies everywhere and leaving other Asians mad at Japan to this day.

North Vietnam used them to, against the French and probably later against mutts.
Did they actually kill the runner though? Shaped charge after all. Or is there an equal opposite reaction? Lemme know physics majors
Yes it kills the user. You understand that there is still an explosion on the other side of the liner, right? That's why a lot of grenade launcher shells with shaped charges are labeled as "dual purpose"
>Did they actually kill the runner though?
100%
its a 4kg lump of explosive going off 1m from your face
for comparison, mythbusters testing if you could break out of a jail cell with a stick of dynamite showed that a standard 200-ish gram stick of dynamite was potentially lethal at that range
take 20d10 damage, do not make a saving throw
It's actually kind if impressive that the Japs made an anti-tank grenade with an even greater disregard for the safety of its user the the Russians
Why not throw it like a javelin from a “safer” range? Even an extra couple meters would increase your survivability drastically.
Odds are you couldn't get it to reliably trigger that way or it wouldn't be flat against the hull. The three prongs on the end are triggers to make sure it is pressed right up against the hull for maximum effectiveness.
Also, something like that would be so front heavy you likely wouldn't even be able to throw it that far with just human strength.
Stick, explosive, and liner combined were about 6.5kg
And it was not aerodynamic either
So good luck throwing it far enough to make a difference
And then pray it hits dead on instead of slipping or getting a rimshot
Theres a reason most people just slapped a rocket and fins on to it
