Both these manga feature the JSDF taking on foes in another world!

In GATE - its a gate so worldwide politics are in play [as in bad things will happen if they try to take over and occupy the whole dimension]

In Nihonkoku - Japan is transported, and they have to play more aggressively because they have to import most of their resources from external countries, so they need to play god to set balance.

In Gate a gate to the fantasy world appears in Japan and in Japan Summons, the entire country of Japan is summoned into another world.

Both involve JSDF fightigh in another world, but in Gate it also involve modern Earth's politics in addition to another world's politics.

The ego of modern military power, modern weapons, patriot, morals, human rights, war, politics.

Nihonkoku is like GATE with all mc's removed.

Both have a very similar feel, but GATE is just better because it actually has characters for you to follow and become attached to.

While transferring to a remote region post, he meets a girl who turns out be the red hair and crimson eyed princess Altina, the wielder of the Supreme Ruler's Sword. Despite being only fourteen years old, she was appointed to become the commander of the army in the remote region simply because she was the illegitimate child of the Emperor.
