基于多种来源，作者认为，自冷战结束以来，自卫队已经开始使用一套复杂的策略来积极解决其在当代日本社会中的问题地位，并以新的方式管理其与有组织暴力的联系。这些策略从语言和制服的细节到身体举止的各个方面；对公众消费的SDF信息进行控制、监管和美化；有关招聘的政策；创建组织历史；有意识地扮演与使用有组织暴力无关的角色，从而表现出与民间社会密切和相似的活动；试图将自卫队与国际上的善意努力联系起来；以及培养与美国武装部队的多重联系。
Based on a diverse set of sources, the authors argue that since the end of the cold war the SDF has begun to use a complex set of strategies to actively address its problematic status in contemporary Japanese society and to manage its connection to organized violence in new ways. These strategies range from details of language and uniforms to aspects of body comportment; the control, regulation, and aestheticization of information about the SDF for public consumption; policies related to recruitment; the creation of an organizational history; activities that project intimacy and similarity with civil society by consciously adopting roles that do not pertain to the use of organized violence; attempts at linking the SDF to international efforts of goodwill; and the cultivation of multiple ties to the U.S. Armed Forces.
