The USA has been aiding Japan’s quake ravaged north with large deployments of troops, aircraft and carriers as part of “Operation Tomodachi,” and the extent of their efforts has earned the undying gratitude of Japanese in the affected regions and beyond.
Some of the scenes at US relief operations, where the US navy and air force (here mostly the USS Ronald Reagan and the Black Knights) and took a prominent role:
Even 2ch is moved:
“As expected of our friends!”
“USA! USA!”
“They’re so handsome. It’s like a movie, really.”
“I could cry. We’re truly grateful, America!”
“Sorry we were so hard-hearted. It seems America was our only friend after all.”
“They are really used to this stuff, aren’t they?”
“They really are tool cool. What is this sense of security I feel…”
“Please make Japan a state.”
“Guys who have seen actual combat are in a different class.”
“They are heroes, seriously.”
“As expected of our master! Japan will remain by your side as your Pochi forever!”
“Rather than seeing our government’s incomprehensible press conferences, seeing the US army on the ground is much more reassuring.”
“The SDF isn’t bad, but seeing this you can really tell how badly Japanese lack decisiveness.”
“I got wet when I saw this on the news. America can have me any time!”
“They seriously look too cool! USA!! USA!! USA!! USA!!”
“The USA is truly Japan’s ally!”
“If God made the world into a feature film America would be the protagonist.”
“Americans may be stupidly optimistic but they are certainly brave and believe in justice.”
“It’s amusing that we can rely on another nation’s armed forces more than we can our own government…”
“I cried!”
Japan for its part has deployed virtually the entire SDF into the region, and its civilian sector is certainly no slouch at rebuilding either:

we must all up each other in these times
Thats right. We must do what we can to help those that create anim- er, I mean, help those in need.
Aye. I'm glad not everyone is going all "Pearl Harbor derp". Especially from those who have been there, and seen that.
As soon as I saw that L.A. County F.D. on that guys back, there's probably nothing I wouldn't do to be a part of that team just to go over there and lend a hand. This is pretty bad ass.
"Some of the scenes at US relief operations, where the US navy and air force (here mostly the USS Ronald Reagan and the Black Knights) and took a prominent role:"
Wait a sec...
"and the Black Knights"...
Are they really called that? Even more bad ass.
Bah damn it, forgot to log in, this was me just now XD
Yeah, they ARE called the Black Knights. Every squadron has their own nickname.
I wonder if any of them are Code Geass fans....
Just think of the leverage being a part of the relief operations would give you in Internet arguments.
IIRC, that's part of the First Cavalry div. or something
Helicopter Squadron 4 (HS-4) Black Knights
Currently attached to Carrier Air Wing 14 with the Ronald Regan.

There's also Strike Fighter Squadron 154 (VFA-154) Black Knights.
http://vfa-154.ahf.nmci.navy.mil/
They were based off the USS Kitty Hawk and NAF Atsugi when they were just VF-154 and still flying F-14s.
Thank you America seems to be the gist of this article. Next!
As efficiently as the situation was handled, Japan should be up and running soon.
“As expected of our master! Japan will remain by your side as your Pochi forever!”
It's nice they know their place.
Stockholm Syndrome.
U mad
Somebody's sarcasm detector is broken it seems.
You should know your place a become someone's bitch "sexually frustrated virgin"
This is nice! I just hope everyone's getting what they need to survive.
I guess Japan gets to reap the benefits of our hard lesson with Katrina.
or maybe because we have a new president that isn't an idiot.
that picture with the roads is awesome...they got that done in 4 days while my dam high way is still being built..and its already been 2 years
Now they sing the praise of Americans? I am truly sorry that this had to happen, but everyone always rags on Americans for having the worst people. Don't let a few "granted there are a lot" (but compared to the total amount) idiots ruin it for the rest of us.
Stay strong Japan, once again you shall rise!!
Everyone is like that. But when shit goes down they always look to America for aid no matter if its natural disasters (sp?) or war.
>or maybe because we have a new president that isn't an idiot.
Agreed.
>or maybe because we have a new president that isn't an idiot.
>Agreed
Sorry to disagree, Mao is picking college basketball while the rest of the world burns. The community organizer does not know how to lead. Hell I even miss Bubba, at least he gave us a new word, the Lewinsky.
>Hell I even miss Bubba, at least he gave us a new word, the Lewinsky.
Yeah, it was great that he wasn't Bush, what with Guantanamo and the Patriot Act and all.
Your a moron, Obama has done more in his first 2 years of his first term than Billy did his entire 8 years and Obama had more to deal with than Billy. Oh by and by Obama is more of a leader than Billy, both Bushs and Reagan all togther.
Actually he IS an idiot. He's actually INCREASED spending, not reduced it and has not lived up to his claims of 'change'.
Since when is an increase in anything not considered a 'change'?
I didn't consider this, but you're right. If Bush were still around the response wouldn't have been half as coordinated. People can say what they want about Obama, but his crisis response is MUCH more organized and effective than Bush's was.
Nah, the president doesn't have anything to do with it:
Katrina:
US Govt. relief: "We're ready to help out."
Louisiana bureaucrat: "Hold on, first we need you to unravel all this red tape."
Japan:
US Govt. relief: "We're ready to help out."
Japanese official: "Go for it. Thanks a lot."
@13:11
Bullshit. It amazes me how people want to put the entire blame on Louisiana and think the federal government was perfect. The feds weren't ready either.
Actually the picture of the roads is misleading. The people who took the picture basically just moved back 200 feet. You can still see the construction in the background.
Where the crane is is just about the place where the original photo is taken based on the tower and sign board.
We don't know how the road look like in the other direction on March 11 photo. It could be just as terrible or not even a scratch.
>or maybe because we have a new president that isn't an idiot.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa. Seriously? Obama's not that smart. He only looks smart because our recent presidents have been dumb as logs.
You don't have to be smart to not be an idiot, just saying. I do agree though that our most recent president was an idiot, and comparatively Obama looks better, if your political agenda allows for you to look at things rationally.
Theres only so much Obama can do with how little the US has left after the Bush admin 'tried' to deal with things like 9/11 and Katrina.. wasnt it only a few weeks prior to Obama being elected that the whole market crash took place?
returning the favor

I was wondering when they will send aid a.a
I so wish I can be there helping, really I do. It's moments like these when the military looks their best.
LAFD making an impact there too. Man, they get to go abroad?
This is what I signed up for. Helping those in need.
And getting awesome "thank you" sex from tsundere Japan...
Even the men?
ESPECIALLY the men.
Don't ask, don't tell...
“They’re so handsome. It’s like a movie, really.”
LOL
...Oh those little bastard of 2ch will never lost their irony.
“Please make Japan a state.”
you don't want that to happen trust me :V
I think many of what was written was relatively sarcastic.
Yeah I was going to same something earlier but decided to wait if others thought the same, it seems like those responses were a bit trollish... IDK sarcasm doesn't translate well over the net.
Quiet you fool! If they were a state there is no way Ishihara would be in! We'll take them in as a state and then change our minds when he flees!
Me thinks the conservatives would welcome Ishihara with open arms lmao.
It's not too hard to read about America and most in Japan have learned to a small extent how to speak and read English. With translation built in software with browsers now, it has become even easier! They know America is in a bad way now, but they also see how we're correcting the libertards, tree-huggers and demoRATS who've poisoned the ground water with their twisted selves. You think it is in jest, but they've seen the insanity in Japan and how their leaders are passing the name blame around as the north burns while AMERICANS came in and actually HELPED without question!!!
That's cute, you putting words into other words to make composite words.
Do you do limericks, too?
Those "composite words" are called portmanteaus. Become an English major. Know useless shit.
your really don't know what your talking about do you
or just read it on wikipedia and save a shitload of time and money.
Maybe just the north-eastern islands?
please learn what irony is
