Militarism … the scourge of the world!

Really? They did so well in their last conflict. What was that? 80 years ago?

Tempting to put on a U.S Marine uniform and pop down for some re-enactment.

You have to love these clowns that literally celebrate Japan's defeat by putting on the uniforms that got it defeated. Hope you get heatstroke, bud!

Except in Germany it would be illegal and rightly so.
Germany learned, Japan didn't it plays the victim every year and it's leaders pay homage to war criminals and the people re-elect these leaders.

No different from neo-Nazis parading around in public in their SS and Gestapo uniforms.

Nobody would do this. Wearing part or full Nazi uniforms is prohibited by law. Offenders would be arrested,
For the majority of Germans the end of WWII is reason to celebrate not to mourn a lost war.

Parading before a nation unaware of its history of war crimes. Educate honestly and these anachronistic fantasists will be a thing of the past.

I find it interesting that at this point 14 people dislike my comment
I would be interested in knowing why these brave 14 refused to say why.
What I wrote was fact.
If you do not believe me, then get on a plane fly to Germany with a WW2 German uniform especially an SS one, if you pass customs.
Then try wearing it in public be sure that all the symbols are correct and authentic.
Good luck,
Otherwise it would be nice to let others and me why you think my comment is wrong or why you dislike it.

The world has moved on, while Japan is stuck in the mentality of 1945.

Seems to me like these clown imposters playing dress up disrespect their own soldiers. Pretty sure they wouldn’t last long in a real war

Simple answer is NO!
The longer answer is, most symbols of the WW2 regime are banned in Germany, displaying them is illegal dressing up in them would definitely lead to arrest and criminal charges.
Unlike Japan Germany understands what it did and cares about the feelings of if neighbours.
No German leaders visiting SS graves or war criminal graves.

Visitors in old Japanese Imperial army uniforms enter Yasukuni shrine...
Oh, they're just "visitors".

A great picture!

Well only if it is lead by Taiwan.
The only reason the CCP won in 49 is because Mao coward in the interior while it's supposed partner the Nationalist did all the fighting only coming out after Japan left, then it "bravely" attacked it's exhausted partner.

Sure mate, China has SO much to offer the free world.
A living example of how NOT to govern.

Right-wing Nationalists. Everyone should be anti-war.
