This is why Japanese men always choose women as their victims, easy targets who often don't lift a finger and they know that. The male acquaintance easily subdued the POS. Now let him get fired and be unemployed for the rest of his life and spend some months in jail to think over how he ruined his life

At times like this you realize just under what pressure many Japanese live.

And the cycle continues, low recruitment means people with low morals and self discipline that would have been rejected before can now be accepted, these people make trouble and further stain the reputation of the SDF, so less people feel motivated to become part of the SDF and recruitment drops even more...

That’s the furthest the Japan’s SDF will ever get to felling combat and then again the usual excuse for a Japanese person
I WAS DRUNK AND I DON’T REMEMBER…
Fighto!
Another waste of space, and a women-basher. To think the Japanese taxpayers have been funding this scum.
In a war he would be the first to run from enemy fire like a little coward - hopefully then getting shot by the enemy.
Good on the male friend. It would have been justice if he had administered a few permanently damaging kicks to the scums' groin.
