GATE: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri

[KrayZ33]

This weeks ep made me laugh quite a few times. I think it was a pretty good one.

I'm so glad Rory told that Diet Member to shut up about that whole dragon story.
"Look, I don't know what I'm talking about, but lets bash some people and let some heads roll... as long as it's not mine"

Hate people like her.
The "resistance" is kinda scary, I wonder if they have trouble with other nations agencies or if they are their own countrymen....while I didn't understand why they were so eager to get troops out of the special zone, there were quite a few protestors some episodes ago.
It's basically like traveling to another planet and they still protest against it? *sigh*
While this is of course only fantasy, I'd jump on a chance like this voluntarily in less than a second if the conditions over there arn't extremely hazardous, but probably even then.

I mean this is nowhere close to sending troops to Iraq/Afghanistan... it's more close to sending them to a habitable planet to establish a base there.

Rory really kept true to her character and gave a fitting speech. It was jolly good. It was quite low of the woman to try to use the visitors purely to drive her own agenda, but that's what a regular politician would be like.

It's Japan. Protests are in that sense believable. They have quite a strong military, having been among the top 10 spenders since forever and having access to Western technology as well as their own, but they didn't have even a fricking ministry of defense a decade ago. They simply aren't supposed to use their armed forces for anything but defending their own islands if attacked first. That's the majority opinion over there, I believe, not to mention it's in their laws, as dictated by the Americans (who now regret it). So, sending the troops over to the other world via the gate and engaging in warfare would annoy lots of citizens.
