As National "Logos" will need to be "clearly marked", would it be a good time to paint the red, white and blue back into the stars and stripes? Low Vis markings, though tactically very sensible in an armed conflict, might not be best suited to an armed confrontation. If the alledged intruder is to be shooed away by the alledged guardian, it might be wise to visually know whose doing what to whom.

I think the Japs have kept their National Markings in full colour (the solid red roundel).
If a Chinese fighter pilot on QRA cannot identify a B52, in I suspect daylight, which have been around for at least 45 to 50 years then there is a problem. The Japanese are a self defence force, so have no reason for tactical markings as they are under the constitution signed post WWII, cannot deploy offensive force outside Japan. I am aware though they are acquiring 'through deck cruisers'.
