Incredible photo of the Japanese army during the floods last year

Stay_Off_My_Lawn · 2012-10-10T00:39:43+00:00

Nope. Quick Tineye search of this pic shows it goes back to at least 2009.

Chinese army 149th Light Mech Inf Division, 13th Group Army, Chengdu "Iron Fist Division".

Japan has Japan Self-Defense Forces but no army. From the picture it looks like members of the Chinese army. If this was Japan, then they would had use a robot or a anime character to help the flood victims cross the river.

masoc · 2012-10-10T01:11:55+00:00

Those are not Japanese. You can tell by pixels.

JestersXIII · 2012-10-10T02:11:41+00:00

Not 100% sure but this looks more like the Chinese Army than the Japanese Defense Force.

mddie · 2012-10-10T03:28:58+00:00

Those are Chinese soliders, flooding is common in some parts of China and the local paramilitary normally responds to them.

2 for 2 with the obvious reposts attached with fake story, OP. Stop posting, please.

ILL_Show_Myself_Out · 2012-10-10T00:56:40+00:00

They're like... A bridge over trouble water! They have laid themselves down.

jrondon · 2012-10-10T00:26:07+00:00

Bridging. Taking planking to another level.

Lord_Bumberchute · 2012-10-10T00:39:44+00:00

It's good to see the military used as building materials. That kind of thing is great.

CasualHello · 2012-10-10T01:11:25+00:00

There is a wooden bridge under them, right?

acemcmuffin · 2012-10-10T05:00:38+00:00

This is the chinese army...get your resources right

Bbmaster91 · 2012-10-10T03:16:15+00:00

This would not have worked in America. There are too many fat people. There would have been some casualties.

theytooktomallen · 2012-10-10T00:28:36+00:00

It's good to see the military used to help people. That kind of thing is great.

blackishdog · 2012-10-10T03:18:10+00:00

"Japanese Army" Whet? Japan has no army.

TimestopBestPower · 2012-10-10T04:19:01+00:00

Japan doesn't have Japanese people in it's army, it has Americans...

hoikarnage · 2012-10-10T03:14:38+00:00

This is probably somebody's fetish.

Dr-Mabuse · 2012-10-10T03:19:09+00:00

Like ants.

flammenwerfer · 2012-10-10T03:53:14+00:00

Last one there's a penis pump!

adescamo · 2012-10-10T04:46:15+00:00

Quick! There's no time, I must touch all this butts!

longlashedlady · 2012-10-10T04:50:26+00:00

Now THAT is serving your country.

notstacy · 2012-10-10T05:01:34+00:00

because wood is obsolete

InvaderDJ · 2012-10-10T05:21:48+00:00

Can someone tell me why they're doing this? There seems to be cables and rods or something to walk on, this seems like a huge waste of manpower.

h0neyqueen · 2012-10-10T05:22:15+00:00

They are Chinese.

Aubrey76 · 2012-10-10T05:32:39+00:00

They are doing a Great Job Whoever They are.

Emb3rSil · 2012-10-10T05:34:39+00:00

RE: RE: RE: RE: AMAZING PHOTO OF THE FLOODS, TRULY A HUMAN TRIUMPH !!MUST SEE!!

ascend112 · 2012-10-10T05:38:41+00:00

Ah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone?

UniversalFarrago · 2012-10-10T05:40:57+00:00

Good thing these weren't American soldiers. Poor things would have been snapped right in half.

Photographic_Eye · 2012-10-10T05:41:59+00:00

The pixels are...strong with this one...

yeungx · 2012-10-10T05:42:21+00:00

I am pretty sure this is just some sort of fetish porn. It is Japan after all.

Ownfir · 2012-10-10T05:45:51+00:00

I can't help but feel like it would have been far more efficient to have had them bring planks, and just lay those down. 8+ guys taking the place of something that a inanimate object could do just seems highly unpractical.

ddfitz · 2012-10-10T05:50:44+00:00

This doesn't seem like the mopst efficient use of humans.

pulsatrix · 2012-10-10T05:56:43+00:00

If there ever comes a time when all nations can resolve disagreements by words and not through violence, I imagine this photo exemplifies what the primary role of an army could become.

Senor_Wilson · 2012-10-10T06:07:54+00:00

Who's brave enough to flip around?

SamiNami · 2012-10-10T06:12:51+00:00

Seems like a nice day off int marines :)

tesnakeinurboot · 2012-10-10T06:22:35+00:00

Except the Japanese aren't allowed to have a military after the conditions of their surrender in WW2.

YelloJuso · 2012-10-10T06:32:54+00:00

This looks like the PLA. The Japanese Army (GSDF) uses a different uniform.

Illivah · 2012-10-10T06:43:10+00:00

Why? because why not. Sure, we could fix the bridge, but it's manlier just to lye down and let them walk on top of your back.

exankit · 2012-10-10T06:55:15+00:00

hey this is not japanese army ; this is INDIAN ARMY in north east of india

momox · 2012-10-10T07:02:43+00:00

Wouldn't it be more efficient to carry each child?

Spaghe-t · 2012-10-10T07:24:39+00:00

Japanese Army

Army ^Army ^{^Army} ^{^{^Army}}

Undeserved_Insults · 2012-10-10T07:26:58+00:00

I'd really like to get stuck in those floods sometimes in the near future.

What a great opportunity to grab me some of the fine soldier man-ass.

Socky_McPuppet · 2012-10-10T07:31:50+00:00

So are you Chinese, or Japanese?

mudg3 · 2012-10-10T07:34:23+00:00

wow OP is a serial re poster and taker of credit for stuff they didnt do.

KUweatherman · 2012-10-10T07:54:04+00:00

"So, this one time when I was younger I was friend zoned and the girl used me as a bridge to cross a stream. Lets all try that to help these folks!"

greyshades · 2012-10-10T04:12:50+00:00

The important thing here is not reposting or accuracy. These guys literally laid down to let others get to safety. If you haven't done it, don't judge. It takes a sincere moment of decision to get to this place. Before you ask, yes. I was in the military. I respect anyone, regardless of nationality, who chooses to help instead of harm.

LarrytheLifeguard · 2012-10-10T05:26:47+00:00

OP is the greatest faggot of them all

70000 · 2012-10-10T00:37:10+00:00

Japan is an amazing country with regards to their respect for community. A very differnt mindset that the everyone for themselves western ideology. Not something I would consider neccesarily good or bad, but it is inspiring to see pictures like this.

snizznuke · 2012-10-10T02:45:12+00:00

As far as I know Japan isn't even allowed to have a military...

dawnroselyn · 2012-10-10T06:56:25+00:00

This still don't forgive 'em for what they done to us at Omaha Beach.

JohnScribbles · 2012-10-10T01:25:59+00:00

it's a training exercise

reddit4rockyt · 2012-10-10T03:17:28+00:00

it neither Chinese or Japanese, BTW Japan is not allowed to have an army, they do have "Self-Defense" force. This is the north eastern infantry from Indian army after earthquake in sikkim, India.

Jaquestrap · 2012-10-10T04:07:10+00:00

This is the Laotian army, not the Japanese or Chinese army.

Goranora · 2012-10-10T03:42:15+00:00

If there is even one chink in the chain, the whole structure will simply collapse.
