Why does Japan fly rising sun flags on its warships when visiting the US?
>>64442759Why not?
Looks cool, Chinese-anon. Why are you so concerned?
>>64442759Who cares?
>>64442769It’s the flag of Imperial Japan, not Japan’s current national flag. It’s banned by FIFA and some other sports organizations because of association with Imperial Japan’s military and war crimes. Also might be insulting to the USA because it was the flag they used during the Pearl Harbor attack.
Looks nice
>>64442759Because that's the naval ensign. The sunburst version has never been the flag of Japan, it's the version they put on ships and military installation to make it more obvious that it's not a white flag.
>>64442759That's their Naval flag. Most navies have a unique flag.
>>64442759>>64442772can't wait to watch the attrition war in the pacific. fucking hundreds of Chinese wiped out from one Japanese ohka attack lmfao. it's the 21st century, imagine how Japanese an hiro tech has advanced.
>>64442759Because the Japanese military has always used that version of the flag, not their normal national flag.
>>64442788idk, I think they got their own rising sun in 45
>>64442788>banned by FIFA>couldn't even get an ADL condemnationpathetic
>>64442797The modern naval flag is essentially the same as the Imperial naval flag.>>64442772I’m American.
>>64442788They don't ban our flag and we vaporized like 200k of them
>>64442788And they got nuked twice in return and had Tokyo burned to the ground.
>>64442788So? The current British flag was used during both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. They burned down the White House. But it's still just a flag.
>>64442788How many more nookz do we have to drop until your feelings won't be hurt by a piece of cloth?
>>64442759>>64442788>>64442814
>>64442788They got btfo they can do whatever they want its fineNow if we were clear losers like China and Korea were that just lucked out with allies then it would be offensive
>>64442788have to make clear that it's not a white flag in stormy weather should a military engagement occur. the rising sun not only confers that, it predates WW1 as a military flag for the country.
Some posts are saying it’s ok because Japan lost, but most people don’t feel the same way about the swastika flag for some reason.>>64442851This does make sense though.
>>64442759It's their naval ensign.
Should Hiroshima and Nagasaki ban any american flag?
>>64442855Don't worry about it Chinaman.
>>64442855The Iron Cross was used by the Nazi's and it's still used by the Bundeswehr today.
>>64442855>some reasonNo historical association with Germany prior to going full retard. They adopted it as their insignia of going full retard, got shit on, and stopped using it. See >>64442876 and the Iron Cross as a counter-example.
>>64442759It is the official flag of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.They made it official so there is nothing to be done about it.
>>64442864I wouldn’t blame them if they did.>>64442860>>64442927It doesn’t have to be. They could make another design.
>>64442788it's not the Imperial flag but their naval jack you retardthe old Imperial flag is totally not their modern national flag with a different shade of red
>>64442933It's their naval ensign.
>>64442933>It doesn’t have to be.You try to get something official changed through the Japanese parliament and then you'll know what official really means.
>>64442814>I’m American.Being American can still mean you are some SEA monkey diaspora or seething chang or gook with some generational trauma. Your average American barely even thinks about countries let along some random country's naval ensign. Even the gooks that are the largest eternal seethers about the rising sun used to not give two shits about it and would regularly conduct naval exercises with Japan flying it. Every bit of modern outrage about the flag started when some gook used seeing it as an excuse to get out of hot water after doing a monkey gesture at Japanese fans at a soccer game. Even though the flag was never spotted in the crowd it worked, so it became the defacto go-to scape goat for gooks.>South Korea’s campaign against the Rising Sun Flag began in earnest in 2011. In an association football match against Japan, South Korean footballer Ki Sung-yueng was accused of making a racist gesture, sparking outrage in Japan. Ki responded that he had intended to highlight the racism he had experienced at Celtic F.C. and that his "heart shed tears" after he saw the Rising Sun Flag at the match.[35][36] On the other hand, many in Japan insist that the Rising Sun Flag was not in the stadium.[35][37] For this reason, there is a widespread view in Japan that Ki Sung-yueng used the excuse of having seen the Rising Sun Flag to justify his racist gesture.Americans hardly give a shit about what some foreign navy (especially one of the largest regional allies) is doing that doesn't affect them and the thing that sparked all modern outrage happened at a sporting event that Americans don't give a shit about. That's why no one gives a shit. You are a chang or gook until skin and funs are posted.
>>64442759If MacArthur didn't see fit to cuck them out of the flag, who am I to care about it.
>>64442855The swastika flag was specifically the flag of the party and associated ideology rather than simply German. It wasn't a flag they used before hand.
>>64442788>>64442759Considering the people who actually experienced and lived through Pearl Harbor didn't have an issue with letting Japan keep it, there isn't actually any issue with it other than you being an oversensitive faggot.
>>64442952I’m Caucasian American. I can’t post my nugget because I’m at work. I just thought it strange that they just sail into American ports flying their war crimes flag. Don’t forget the Bataan death march.
>>64442759It being their actual navy flag aside, what's a bit of banter between allies? When Germany sent a ship to harbour in Copenhagen as part of a larger exercise, they sent Schleswig-Holstein.
>>64443000Yes, fellow American from Kansas
>>64442759Because nips are based.
>>64443000>Don’t forget the Bataan death march.Japan's PoW camps in the Philippines were headed by a Korean and most of the brutal actions were done by gooks taking out their autistic rage from being treated as guard dogs in the IJA.>In his memoirs, Colonel Eugene C. Jacobs wrote during the Bataan Death March, "Korean guards were the most abusive. The Japs didn't trust them in battle, so used them as service troops; the Koreans were anxious to get blood on their bayonets.">Korean guards were sent to the remote jungles of Burma, where Lt. Col. William A. (Bill) Henderson wrote some guards overlooking construction of Burma Railway "were moronic and at times almost bestial in treatment of prisoners." The highest-ranking Korean prosecuted was Lieutenant General Hong Sa-ik, who commanded all Japanese prisoner-of-war camps in the Philippines.
>>64442795kek I like this US naval flag, looks like something I would draw.
>>64443053It looks like someone drew one of those wooden snake toys lol
>>64443000>Caucasian Americanyou joker you, everyone knows that White people don't exist.
>>64442832>.
>>64442788>>64442814>>64443000>It might be insulting to the USA>Hello fellow burgers, I'm definitely American and not a VANK gook seething about Japan like I do every single day.
>>64443053Go to hell
>>64443066
>>64442759When will Asians get it through their thick heads that white people don't care about the different breeds of Asians, they hate you all equally.
>>64443066Lol I've been to that hospital or bank or whatever the fuck it was with the dome
>>64442792
>>64443079wrong lmao
>>64442978Mac felt the pixelated porn was punishment enough. A harsh, but fair sentence, as befitting the Gaijin Shogun.
>>64442788>Also might be insulting to the USA because it was the flag they used during the Pearl Harbor attack.I've flown onto a Japanese ship from Pearl Harbor (took off from Ford Island) and smoked a cigarette with JMSDF sailors inside the ship. Here's the (somewhat annoyed) U.S. Navy public affairs officer assigned to babysit our crew of reporters talking to her Japanese counterpart.
>>64442759Its just their naval flag, also its based.
>>64443101
>>64443374What is she annoyed about?
>>64443421LITERALLY ME
>>64442788Its thier naval jack, you might as well ask the British to stop flying the red ensign because of colonialism
>>64442978>MacArthurYou guys realize he was a massive weaboo, right?
>>64442759He wrote it in his will that it should be flown whenever a Japanese ship goes into a gaijin port. Simple as.
>>64443438I’m sure there’s some who would say they should.
>>64443430Having to follow around and watch a group of reporters in case one fell out of the helicopter
>>64443460A miko shozoku with military medals on it looks cool. Thanks grok.
>>64442788They sneak attacked us and brutalized a bunch of our pows. We burned their capitol to cinders and nuked them twice. We’ve been on good terms for like 80 years now. They can fly the flag they want on the ships they use to help us defend the pacific. Including when they’re guests in our harbors. At least as far as I’m concerned.
>>64443460>an inspirasian to us allNever noticed that before. Thanks for the chuckle.
>>64443374Dude in the back right looks kino as hell. Like he fell asleep in his rack in 42 and just turned up to watch not realizing he time traveled.
>>64442788So what, we fly the same flag we used when we nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki, if they got a problem with that it's too bad. Only butthurt chinkoids ignorant of their own history hate the imp flag.
>>64442759Daily reminder
>>64442788You may be shocked to learn that naval ensigns aren't necessarily the same as their national flags.
>>64444325Japs do seem like a whiny bunch, is it an east asian thing?
>>64444341Superiority complex fostered by being isolated from the rest of the world for their entire life.
>>64442759Because it has been the Japanese Naval Ensign for as long as Japan has had a navy. It was used when Japan and the US were allies before, and it's being used that way again.
>>64442759They still love that flag, they are still imperialist.They would still be colonial and seize Indonesia, Korea, Philippines, etc. if they could.It doesn't matter who the indigenous of any land are, they think anything could be added to Japan. If being indigenous mattered to the Japanese their country wouldn't even exist, it'd decolonize from the Yayois and become the Ainu country.
Kino
>>64442759>Why does Japan fly rising sun flags on its warships when visiting the US?To answer your question, it's by international convention. Boats fly their home flag from their stern. Each country may have slightly different rules for displaying a flag. Look up flag etiquettes for ships in yours or the destination country for more info.
>>64444411/k/id word
>>64442759I'm glad chinks are still mad about it, going to be glorious to see that flag fly over them again in ww3.
>>64442788>It’s banned by FIFASundowners btfo

I am American, live in Japan, and think the new ultra-right Japanese government should abolish Article 9, reform the JSDF into an offensive military, and kick all people with Chinese, Indian, Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Seamonkey and African ancestry out of the country. Japan is for the Japanese; Japanese First.>>64442788monkey want banana?
>>64444724>kick all people with Chinese, Indian, Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Seamonkey and African ancestry out of the country.What about American and European?
>>64444762>What about AmericansI already said AfricanAustralians should definitely be banned too.

>>64442759It’s a Sicilian warning
>>64442814>I’m American.I'm going to need some proof. do you have a gun you can show us?
>>64442816we didnt have a secret lab where we replaced peoples blood with seawater to see what would happen
>>64442855the people who are butthurt about swastika's are usually the germans themselves, nobody else cares (apart from modern day libtards)
>>64443068>no Californiabuk-do province or somethingHere's a (You), do better next time.
>>64443079what do you even know about white people
>>64444988Yea, yea, we just hired them and the mengele types after the fact. Not that I'd put something like that past the Phoenix program people.
>>64442788seethe more, japs were in the right in ww2
>>64442759That's the flag of their Navy. It looks more striking than just a red dot in the snow.
>>64444762brits and americans should be banned from japan, for starting ww2, by backing KMT and communist groups, oil embargo, and empowering seamonkeys
>>64442788>t.butthurt chinksect
>>64445178China fairer skin than any of you.
>>64442788Meanwhile
>>64443053I didn't know they changed the Naval Jack back to the white stars on a field of blue until just now. That's a pretty gay thing to do, it should always be the >NO STEP ON SNEKflag.

>>64443000>Caucasiannoone unironically is calling themselves caucasian
>>64445391That looks like an airsoft and I'll tell you why: real guns don't have silver parts, they are blue because gunpowder is corrosive and the weapon will rust if you just have untreated iron in a gun. Get educated before you speak, dork
>>64445416Nuggets don't have blued bolts you retard
>>64445416fuck off u the donk here
>>64442759I bet the OP also doesn't even know about the actual Confederate flag.

>>64442788>banned by FIFAThat is possibly the most homosexual thing ever posted on this website, and that's counting literal trannies posting their testicles in a mason jar on /k/.It's common for nations to hang onto older designs of flags and ensignias even when technically the nation itself might have abandoned or is in complete opposition to the ideology that older design represents. Even Iran kept the old monarchist symbol on their military flags for a while, even when the national one was already replaced by the ugly Islamohomo design.
I'm American and I think it's cool. Keeping a flag like the Japanese naval flag or the UK's white ensign is keeping a direct link to the past.
>>64445462Nah, they've been like this forever. That being said, they've never liked chinks in the slightest.
>>64445523I don't think Iran was one of the axis powers during ww2.
>>64444341Neo-Confucianism. Every time you see East Asians acting like subhumans, the answer is almost universally Neo-Confucianism. Japan's better than most because they weren't quite as crazy about that shit as China and Korea was, but it still infests their brains and makes them retarded.
>>64445607They got invaded by both the Allies and Soviets
>>64443647You know, I never thought about it like this before, but the US and Japan straight up did the anime cliche where the archenemies become bros after their big fight.
>>64442788incredible seethe
>>64442788>It’s the flag of Imperial Japanbwahahahaha no
>>64442759because its illegal in their own countrywe're a free country and they can fly whatever flag they fucking want, and they enjoy that freedom with us
>>64442769because they lost the war
>>64442788Chang...it's still the official flag of JSDF.
>>64445469You write like a teenager who had a few AP courses this last semester.
>>64445792China is tsundere too. They just WISH we had acknowledged how "formidable" they were in Korea. Never mind we even killed maos son. The old school chinks literally have a huge chip on their shoulder.Even their propaganda has us in a pretty favorable portrayals compared to the Japs and everyone else.

>>64443079>When will Asians get it through their thick heads that white people don't care about the different breeds of Asians, they hate you all equally.That's very wrong, White people love the Japanese specifically.
>>64444309Also if you liked those duty uniforms, there are some more wearing them in this pic. This is a boring pic but that's what it's like covering military exercises. A lot of waiting around. You land on the ship and they take you into a conference room, serve water, take you to the bathroom, etc. and hand out literature about their ship and a gift postcard. Then you go up onto the deck to take pics of flight ops and try to get a good pic. Most of the reporters are Japanese but the bald white guy with the big camera and olive green surplus bag was Stars & Stripes. I followed those dudes out through the door down the hallway to the left into some mechanical room for a smoke break and told them they kept a very clean ship, which is true. They were very polite and came across as highly disciplined.Also see the bored / annoyed U.S. Navy PIO on the far right. The U.S. always assigns a public affairs babysitter to the press.
>>64442788>fifaWho cares? They're just catering to woke bullshit
>>64444341Japs view fellow Asians as below subhuman.If that Chinese-American was shook imagine what actual Chinese, Korean or Southeast Asians get.Or even a South Asian jeet/Paki/Bangla.
>>64442788You sound like a bitch ass nigga o algo
>>64442983The people who experienced Pearl Harbor are all dead, they were also shoved aside when relations were normalized in the 70s and 80s.The Enola Gay heroes hated Japan to the very end despite being peer pressured by the Japanese to apologize. Americans don't carry grudges unlike East Asians and Yuros which is a good and a bad thing.
>>64444341>>64445462>>64445780>>64446143All asians hate each other. The only thing that can unit the big three(only ones that matter:Chinese, Japanese, Korean) is their mutual dislike for any any SEA-nigggers.Blame it on the self-hate, but anything not lily white is sub-human.
>>64442788>It’s banned by FIFAThe most corrupt organisation in the world doesn't like their flag. Oh noooooooo.
>>64444481best USN squadron marking ever
>>64446092I like the bamboo-weave aesthetic on the padding around the pillar.On a western ship, I'd expect it to be blue or black covered foam mats attached with packing straps.
>>64446160>Americans don't carry grudges>which is a good and a bad thinganon, after studying the history of every europoor/thirdie shithole that was worth noting down i noticed the american character of being able to let go is what sets it apart from all civilizations prioralso a funny ((((coincidence)))) the world stopped being such a backward shithole post america's founding
>>64446070I love how autistically squared away they always look.
>>64446160>unlike East Asians and YurosYuros have buried more hatchets in the last century than there are Asian nations. England and France were at each other's throats for a millennia but the Entente Cordial worked out great and existed well before even the League of Nations.
>>64446222>I love how autistically squared away they always lookNever been to Japan?It's basically their national character.
>>64446221Nah, kill all your enemies (preferably via crucifixion on the streets) and absorb the survivors as new citizens
>>64446221>the world stopped being such a backward shithole post america's foundingThe US was largely irrelevant until post-WW1, and coincidentally that's when everything started going to shit.
