Sounds pretty good.

Zombie killer units sound ridiculous. The world hasn't gone full cartoon, just because the dead are rising. Most militaries are still employing traditional, albeit slightly modified, tactics against the situation.[/quote]

It's not cartoon. Basically, what you do to put a soldier into a 'zombie killer unit' is to throw in like 20% of the Future Warrior Program (whatever can be rushed out) into them (would make sense that the Japanese would bring some of those parts with them so that they could show off to the other nations their tech), throw them some basic riot gear, scrounge up swords for them, other traditional weapons like the spear for others and riot shield + hastily made short sword for the rest (legionary style). Then to add the cherry on top they get brassards and badges, that's it.

Predictably, they'll likely perform slightly worse than your normal soldier in modern warfare due to all the extra gear (unless ammunition is gone or too precious to use, or if no one wants to draw the attention of the walkers), but expect a single soldier of the Kyonshikirapeitai to be able to take on a dozen zombies alone.

That said, if it's still not believable after I explain things, I'd prefer to create a new character. Maybe that astronaut I've been meaning to play as :D

EDIT: I do appreciate all that effort you're putting into me though, but if the character isn't intact and becomes a run-of-the-mill soldier guy, there's no point in inventing a convoluted chain of events to bring him to Washington D.C from Japan.
