ang out at the beach wearing a cool uniform, ride a slick, fast boat all day and wind up doing virtually nothing and get PAID FOR IT!!!

Don't forget about the smoking heroic amounts of ciggarettes...I've seen these guys in action climbing Fuji-san...At 3000m, the SDF guys were alternating between an O2 can and some tobako. Amazing.

Though honestly, Does North Korea really pose much of an invasion threat to Japan? Or any kind of threat that 15,000 troops can ward off...

Where do I sign up?

I'm tempted to bid for the contract, pocket the money and then
license an army of cosplay fanatics who would do it all for free,
subject to a few changes to the uniform ...



And if they act now, I'll even throw in a battalion of mini-soldiers, for absolutely nothing
