I think for this story, it was only the japanese people that were transported, or what the japanese people consider it's residents. There might be a few foreigners that were transported along japan, but I think it's only the civilians.

For all intents and purposes, let's just say that conveniently, all of the non-japanese that were stationed in Japan were outside of the country for one reason or another.
While I see what you're doing on behalf of the author and other authors who do stuff like this, honestly, this doesn't make sense. It would've been more interesting to see how the Japanese officials interacted with American base Commanders in this situation to create a not-so-Japanese-centric new settlement for former Earthlings now lost in another world. But alas, doesn't seem we got that or this author thought that far ahead or beyond focusing on the JDSF versus a Fantasy-European-Middle-Age-Esque world like Gate.

Why no mention of JAXA? Should have some spy sats in orbit by now...

Probably omitted from the manga due to media constraints but in the WN & LN JAXA already launched observation satellites early in the Parpaldia arc, there's also discussion of the budget to recreate the whole GPS satellite network with investment from the private sector and so on. Also the satellites will play a role against the next superpower.

Never heard of the A-10? It can export freedom conveniently packaged into a 30mm round with depleted uranium, up to a rate of 4200 per minute.
you didnt get the point.....how can you export freedom when you're not free.....americans are brainwashed into believing that they're living in a free land, but it's just a police state disguised as democracy with unhinged police doing what they want free of all accountability or transparency, all while heavely spied on by their own government with the ability to take away their citicens freedom under the pretense of security ( patriot/freedom act).

And you didn't get the joke, did you? Neither in my comment nor on the other one.

That wasn't a counter argument, I wasn't disagreeing with you, I was referencing a meme that has the same purpose as your comment: criticize USA and their supposed "freedom".

There is an old meme that the USA delivers (or in this case, "exports") freedom to other countries in the form of ammunition, the whole point of the meme is to ridicularize how they oppress other countries under the disguise of "protecting their own freedom" and other bs.

It pretty much represents the very thing you said, they are not exporting freedom, they are exporting oppression and then calling it freedom. It isn't that hard buddy.

Unnecessary disclaimer: I think there are exaggerations on both sides. For me, personally, freedom is much more complex than what you described, and in that regard no country is truly free (and to an extent that is fine), although some are worse than others.

No problem. I should have included an image to help with the context too lol


So a little late, but here it is:

Btw, if you are curious about those things: In the past the pilot could switch between 2100 and 4200 rpm, this changed to 3900 fixed at some point.

The manga because of its limitations omits many details.
The manga chapter 19 where the ambassadors from the Rodenius continent to Japan were chatting. The manga only mentioned they leased the empty embassies. But if you read between the lines it says the former world embassies SHRUNK, then closed and finally handed back to Japan. To have shrunk it means there were people still working for them. The WN/LN goes into detail that the people that worked in those embassies were given japanese citizenship. If you need it spelled for you, it means those were foreigners that were present in the embassies and transported too, which also means most likely any and all foreign people on japanese soil at that time. Some made it their new life work to preserve the culture/traditions of their former Earth Countries.

As for the USFJ they are mentioned several times through the WN/LN early on (omitted from manga) and later. The next mention they get in the WN/LN is right after the Parpaldia arc, where the Japanese laid future plans due to the aggressive nature of all the new world countries, starting with fixed wing carriers, stealth planes based on their F-X shinshin including carrier variants, nuclear subs, C-5 like cargo planes, new or replacement smart bombs & missiles, etc. and mention with consultation, help and training from the USFJ for all of those.

As for Okinawa which is another subject that's been questioned time and time again in many chapter discussins if it's transported or not, the LN maps. even the ones in the Manga, show Okinawa and future chapters they mention certain enemies detected off the coast of Okinawa, which means that yes Okinawa and most likely the USFJ forces stationed there were also transported

The author has already stated the USFJ is there in its entirety. He just doesn't want to write about them.

Just how do you think this is even possible...?

"War crimes" are just a definition and at the end of the day, in geopolitics might makes right. For example the United States Empire precludes itself from any responsibility for their war crimes and have an official policy to invade the Netherlands if any American is ever put on trial in the Hague. Every American president has violated the Geneva Conventions since the establishment of the Geneva Conventions.

American Service-Members' Protection Act, otherwise known as "The Hague Invasion Act".
I just found out about this from your comment. What a fucked up act. And of course, it was introduced by two Republicans and signed by that asshole Bush. Clearly they knew they could/would be labeled as war criminals for the mess in Iraq, so they created this as a safety measure. Another reason for me to smirk when some American brats diss Japan for their war crimes, something they should have apologized for, but at least haven't committed any in nearly a century.
