Cultural Note
In Japan, the term 『軍』 (gun, 'army') is historically significant, often associated with the Imperial Japanese Army before World War II. Today, Japan's military is officially called 『自衛隊』 (jieitai, 'Self-Defense Forces'), but 軍 is still used in historical or fictional contexts, such as in samurai dramas or war movies.
