Those jets are mainly used as a stealth reconnaissance planes primary, and they can fight back if engaged. Also can be used for stealth bombing and simmilar tasks.
That's why you never heard of any combat involvement with those planes. ;)

I am living in Japan, and I can confirm. The Police is absolutely USELESS there, specially reagarding gangs and Yakuza. Yakuza is owning I think more than 50% of the Police, and also all the big lawyers, prosecutors and specially judges. I am curious, actually very curious about the verdict, but I almost sure she will loose, mostly because of "lack of evidence". Is not like she's having the receipts from the gangsters.

Posted in: Chinese ask: Why doesn’t Japan hate America for dropping the A-bombs? See in context
Yeah actually is a good question. Me, as an European who lives in Japan I often wonder the same thing. I see here in JP that the Americans are almost idolized by the Japanese, while if you say that you are from some country in Europe or Asia they don't give a frack. The Americans always have the best payed jobs, houses, etc, the can get a job 10x times more easily than a guy that is from Belgium or Holland from example. And talking from experience here...
