Troops of Peace

I knew orientals were doing weird ads, and have a special sense of humour -and misunderstand our sense of humour, too!- because of my frequent contact with Koreans and others. My japanese friend doesn't count, she's been living in Europe for so long she can hardly count as oriental! Anyway, I commented on this piece of news In the navy -- Japanese style with Korean guy, and he didn't see why it was supposed to be funny. Is this our respect towards a National Army?
