On the move

I'm a huge fan of everything SDF, and this is great, but they really need to lose the purses. It's way outdated.

Nice photo

Looks iron tough as North Koreans!

These same comments pop up from year to year. It is a DRESS/CEREMONIAL uniform and reality is not much different from the "dress blues" of other armed forces including the US military.

The fact that they are not carrying weapons indicates to me that these are not combat troop members of the JSDF.

"Legs" by ZZ Top playing in my head now...

The handbags seem so 1950s. Why not allow them to carry their SDF issued weapon?

Man,those below-the-knee skirts sure make their legs appear short.

Scary and magnificent. I hope they're on the same side as me.

Great photo.
